İnfantil dönemde görülen skrotal kapiller “çilek’’ hemanjiyom olgusu
İnfantil dönemde hemanjiyomlar baş, boyun, gövde ve ekstremitelerde sık görülmesine rağmen genital bölgede oldukça nadir görülürler. Skrotal cillte hemanjiyomlar nadiren izole olup, penis, perine veya intraskrotal alana da yayılabilmektedir. Çocukluk çağında skrotal hemanjiyomlar genellikle adolesanlarda olup, infantlarda az sayıda olgu bildirilmiştir. Skrotal hemanjiyomlar genellikle kendini sınırlamakta ve 1 yaşından sonra kendiliğinden gerilemektedir. Bu nedenle genellikle konservatif tedavi tavsiye edilmektedir. Cerrahi tedavi ancak skrotal hemanjiyomlar semptomatik hale gelirse gerekebilir. Lokal bakım ve sık alt bezi değişimi basit ve etkili bir tedavi yöntemidir. Bu çalışmada, izole skrotal ‘’çilek’’ hemanjiyomu ile kliniğimize gönderilen 3 aylık erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Hasta lokal lezyon bakımı önerilerek 15 ay takip edildi. Takip süresince komplikasyon gelişmedi ve lezyon boyutu geriledi.
A case report with scrotal capillary “strawberry’’ hemangioma presented in infantile period
Despite hemangiomas occur generally at head, neck, trunk and extremities during the infantile period, they located in the genital region rarely. Hemangiomas are rarely iso- lated on the scrotal skin and can spread to the penis, perineum, or intrascrotal area. In childhood, scrotal hemanjiyomas are generally in adolescents, and few cases have been reported in infants. Scrotal hemangiomas are usually self limited and regress after 1 year of age. Therefore conservative treatment is generally advised. If scrotal hemangiomas become symptomatic, may require surgical treatment. Local care and frequent diaper changing is a simple and effective treatment. In this study, we report a 3 months old boy patient who presented to our clinic with iso- lated scrotal ‘’strawberry’’ hemangioma. The patient was followed for 15 months with the recommendation of local lesion care. There were no complications and lesion size regressed during follow-up.
