Abstract
- Hemangiomas, abnormal growths of vascular endothelial cells, are common vascular tumors in children. In contrast, their prevalence is 1–3 % in full-term newborns. Their unique location and associated complications can cause significant distress for patients and families. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent complications such as fertility issues, hemorrhage, or other related problems. This case study explores the diagnosis and management of scrotal hemangiomas, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention. A 10-year-old boy with a scrotal hemangioma since birth underwent surgical excision due to increased discomfort caused by a new lesion. 2.5 × 2.3 cm hemangioma was successfully removed through En Bloc Excision. The patient experienced a swift recovery, and histopathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. This case underscores the importance of careful monitoring and decisive intervention in managing scrotal hemangiomas. Scrotal hemangiomas often present challenges in diagnosis, mimicking malignant tumors. Clinical examination, ultrasonography, and histopathology are crucial for accurate diagnosis. Various surgical techniques, including En Bloc Excision, have been employed, with postoperative care tailored to individual cases. Precise preoperative diagnosis is essential to distinguish scrotal hemangiomas from other conditions and guide appropriate management strategies. This case study highlights the management of a scrotal hemangioma through En Bloc Excision, emphasizing the importance of considering definitive treatment options. The comprehensive scrotal examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management of this rare vascular tumor. • Scrotal hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors. Their location can cause significant distress and complications for patients. • Precise diagnosis is essential to distinguish scrotal masses and guide appropriate therapy. • Review of literature shows surgery as definitive treatment for scrotal hemangiomas. • Highlight the rarity of disease, role of precise diagnosis and surgical excision as optimal therapy.
