Objectives:
The present study reviews vascular testicular tumors, a very rare pathology. To our knowledge, only 17 cases have been reported since 1921.
Methods/Results:
We describe a case of a 16-year-old male who consulted for a mass of sudden onset. Pathological examination disclosed a testicular angioma.
Conclusions:
Despite the advancements of the imaging techniques, there are no signs that indicate the nature of vascular testicular neoplasms. The good prognosis of these tumors underscores the importance of the anatomopathological differential diagnosis.
