Capillary haemangioma of the scrotum

Özellikle infantil dönemde sık görülmesine rağmen hemanjiomlar genital bölgede lokalize olabilen oldukça nadir tümörlerdir. Erkeklerde skrotum içinde daha fazla görülmekle beraber, skrotal ciltte de ortaya çıkabilir. Bu çalışmada 15 yaşında, skrotal ciltte yerleşik hemanjiomu olan erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Hastadaki hemanjiom cerrahi olarak eksize edilmiş ve komplikasyon görülmemiştir.

Skrotumun kapiller hemanjiomu

Despite their common occurrence, especially during the infantile period, haemangiomas located in the genital region represent one of the rarest tumours. In males, although more commonly encountered inside the scrotum, haemangiomas can also occur on the scrotal skin. We present a 15-year-old male patient who had this latter type of lesion. The haemangioma was excised surgically without any complication.
