Scrotal arteriovenous malformation: Case report

Scrotal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are extremely rare, making them difficult and complex to diagnose, and a therapeutic challenge; few cases of this type have been reported in the literature. This article reports the case of a male patient, 12 years old, with congenital AVM and background of treatment with sclerotherapy and embolization: it was decided to perform a surgical resection, which was successful. Angiography is obligatory in arteriolar cases, and it was backed up with surgical AVM treatment, taking into account the great importance of pre-surgical embolization.
