“…Testicular hemangiomas are among the rare benign masses; they comprise 3 major categories (capillary, cavernous, and epithelioid) and usually are not associated with hemangiomas at other locations. [8][9][10]13,14 Hemangiomas are usually characterized by testicular enlargement with or without tenderness, which was not the case in our patient. 8 Gray scale sonography generally shows a focal, well-defined hypoechoic mass with calcifications, and color Doppler sonographic patterns may show variations among different types of hemangiomas, because some of them have slower flow or lesser degrees of vascular pooling.…”

“…9 Conversely, testicular tumors of vascular origin have been reported to be extremely rare. 8,10 In the differential diagnosis of the lesion in our case, we considered intratesticular varicocele and hemangioma. Intratesticular varicocele is also a rare condition and is seen as straight or serpentine hypoechoic tubular structures within testicular parenchyma.…”

“…Testicular tumors of vascular origin on the other hand are very uncommon and only few cases have been reported. Such tumors include papillary endothelial hyperplasia [4] and capillary, cavernous and histiocytoid hemangiomas [2][3][4][5][6][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Intratesticular AVM is an extremely rare entity with only one case has been previously reported [1].…”

Intratesticular Arteriovenous Malformation. Clinical Course, Ultrasound and MRI Findings of an Extremely Rare Lesion on a 7 Year Follow-up Basis

We present the clinical course, sonographic and MRI findings of an intratesticular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) found in a patient during routine check-up for infertility evaluation. Seven years ago, patient's refusal for surgical removal of the lesion led to follow-up ultrasound examinations and finally to an MRI examination. Arteriovenous malformations of male genitalia have been reported in the literature (penis, scrotum, spermatic cord and epididimys). However, this is the second case of an intratesticular AVM and the first one with a long clinical follow-up.

ABSTRACTintratesticular vascular neoplasms are extremely rare tumors and mostly seen in children or young adults. We reported a case of capillary hemangioma of the testis to attract attention to testicular hemangioma and also to prevent invasive surgery of the testis.The patient was an 18-year-old boy with a testicular mass. Scrotal sonography revealed a varicocele in the left testis and a simple cyst in the left epididymis. There was a solid hypoechoic neoplastic area 75 mm in diameter in the right testis. The laboratory findings including tumor markers and serum levels of α-fetoprotein and ß-human chorionic gonadotrophin were normal. The patient underwent right orchiectomy and the pathology diagnosis was capillary hemangioma.Testicular neoplasms derived from connective tissue, blood vessels and musculature are uncommon and intratesticular tumors of vascular origin are extremely rare. There are only 21 cases reported in the literature. The pathologists and the surgeon have to be aware of this entity as the prognosis of the neoplasm determines the method of surgery. Capillary hemangioma of the testis can be similar to malignant testicular tumors on clinical presentation, as well as on ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. although it is impossible to differentiate a hemangioma from a seminoma before the operation, intraoperative frozen study may be helpful in the differential diagnosis. Frozen section must be performed if the neoplasm has significant vascular proliferation identified by Doppler sonography. Because of the benign nature of this lesion, conservative surgical treatment by means of tumor enucleation with preservation of the testis is possible if intraoperative frozen section examination can be performed.

Biz bir testiküler kapiller hemanjiyom olgusunu testis hemanjiyomları üzerine ilgi çekerek, testisin invaziv cerrahisini önlemek amacıyla literatüre sunduk.18 yaşında testiküler kitlesi olan erkek hastada, skrotal ultrason ile sağ testiste varikosel ve sağ epididimde 6 mm çaplı basit kist tespit edilmiştir. ayrıca sol testiste 75 mm çaplı solid, hipoekoik alan mevcuttur. Laboratuvar bulguları; tümör markerları ve serum α-fetoprotein, ß-human koryonik gonadotropin seviyeleri normaldir. Hastaya sol orşiyektomi yapılmış ve patolojik tanısı kapiller hemanjiyom olarak rapor edilmiştir.Testisin bağ doku, damar ve kas dokularından köken alan neoplazmları oldukça nadirdir. ancak damar kökenli intratestiküler tümörleri çok daha nadirdir. Literatürde sunulmuş sadece 21 olgu bulunmaktadır. neoplazmın prognozu operasyonda belirleyici bir faktör olduğu için bu nadir antite gerek cerrah gerekse patolog tarafından akılda tutulması gereken bir durumdur. Testisin kapiller hemanjiyomu klinik ve radyolojik olarak (ultrasonografik ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme) malign tümörlerine benzer. operasyon öncesinde hemanjiyom ile seminom...
