“…IHs localized in the genital region with a deep component are much more aggressive and with more complications. They can interfere with the sperm production in case of scrotal deep IH, through the direct involvement in the physical growth of developing testis as well as by increasing local temperature in the testicle because of the nearby IH (6,7). In a scrotal as well as penile deep IH, an important disfigurement and malfunction can occur (7).…”

“…Genital IHs are especially prone to ulceration, due to the irritating and macerating properties of stool and urine, frequent friction and occlusive effect of diapers (6,11). The additional trigger for ulceration of IH in this anatomic area is decreased oxygenation of the surface of the hemangioma (6,7). About 75% of total hemangioma ulcerations are found in the diaper area, out of which 26% in the gluteal region, 23% at the perineum, 18% around the anus, and 8% at the scrotum (12).…”

Introduction. Superficial infantile hemangiomas (IH) are rarely localized in the genital region. Case Report. We present 8 infants with IHs in the genital region (3 boys and 5 girls). Our patients had only superficial IHs, their internal organs were not affected and there were no associated anomalies. In the boys, IHs were localized on the scrotum and the foreskin in 2 cases and 1 case, respectively. In the girls, IHs were on the labia majora and near the vaginal introitus. None of the IHs showed any IH-related complications. No therapy for IHs was administered in any of the presented infants, either because IHs were small and non-aggressive, or because their parents rejected the proposed therapy. Conclusion. Genital IHs have increased tendency for ulceration, so thorough examination and follow-up are of outmost importance. If therapy is indicated, oral propranolol is the treatment of choice for genital IHs.

“…Apart from dilated, endothelium lined vascular spaces separated by fibrous tissue, cavernous hemangiomas also show thrombosis and calcification commonly [5] . The immunohistochemical markers CD31 and CD34 can help in delineating the endothelial lining of the cavernous spaces, while FVIII and vimentin shows variable positivity.…”

Introduction: Cavernous hemangiomas are diagnosed by dilated large vessels with thin walls. Intra-testicular hemangiomas are a rare entity, and often mimic testicular malignancy or may present as testicular torsion.Case Report: 18 year old male presented with a month-long history of lower abdominal pain and clinical examination revealed only a mildly enlarged, non-tender left testis. Ultrasonography of abdomen and scrotum suggested avascular hypoechoic left testis with hydro-hematocoele likely secondary to torsion of testis. A probable diagnosis of torsion of testis was made and the patient underwent left orchiectomy. Microscopic examination of the tumor revealed a cav¬ernous hemangioma composed of variably sized, clot-filled cavernous spaces separated by fibrous tissue and leading to hemorrhagic necrosis of the testicular parenchyma. Conclusion:Clinicians need to consider the possibility of the rare but benign lesion, testicular hemangioma, in young patients presenting with testicular mass and/or pain, along with normal tumour markers and increased intralesional vascularity on imaging.

Deep scrotal hemangiomas are rare. Less than 50 case reports have been published. After systematic research of the literature, we found less than 5 cases of ulcerated scrotal hemangioma. The aim of this case report is to illustrate the challenges of scrotal hemangiomas pose and their potential therapies based on the successful surgical treatment of an ulcerated scrotal hemangioma in an 18-month-old male patient.
