Abstract:
Intrascrotal and testicular masses in the pediatric population do not usually present as treatment dilemmas. Herein, we report an unusual case of an enlarging, intrascrotal capillary hemangioendothelioma in a 3-month-old male infant. Conservative management including watchful waiting in the case of purely cutaneous scrotal hemangiomas is the treatment of choice. However, scrotal lesions with a palpable testicular or scrotal mass do not lend themselves to conservative treatment and, as in this case, exploration with intraoperative evaluation and excision is warranted.
