Summary
Urethral hemangioma, a rare cause of hematuria, was successfully treated in a young patient using Nd-YAG laser fulguration for multiple penile urethral hemangiomas.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Vascular Anomalies
Background:
- Urethral hemangioma is an uncommon condition presenting as hematuria.
- Treatment options for urethral hemangioma are diverse.
Observation:
- A young patient presented with significant hematuria.
- Urethrocystoscopy revealed multiple hemangiomas within the penile urethra.
Findings:
- Successful fulguration of multiple penile urethral hemangiomas was achieved using Nd-YAG laser therapy.
- Nd-YAG laser treatment offers an effective therapeutic option for urethral hemangiomas.
Implications:
- This case highlights Nd-YAG laser fulguration as a viable treatment for urethral hemangiomas.
- Further research may explore the long-term efficacy and safety of laser therapy for this rare condition.
