title: Cavernous haemangioma of the penis in an infant.
abstract: We report on a 6-month-old boy with cavernous haemangioma of the penile shaft. He was admitted to our Department with the finding of a slowly enlarging penile mass two months in duration. Physical examination revealed an ovoid, solid and cystic subcutaneous mass 2 x 1, 5 x 1, 5 cm in size at the right side of the penile shaft. The tumour was completely removed surgically and histological examination demonstrated a cavernous haemangioma.
