Testicular juvenile capillary hemangioma: conservative management with frozen-section examination. A case report.
Juvenile capillary hemangioma, an exceptionally rare benign neoplasm, seen in an 18-year-old patient, was managed in an unorthodox fashion. The patient insisted on a conservative approach to the management of his tumour. In an effort to comply with his wishes, frozen-section examination of the tumour was carried out. The astute observations of the pathologist who recognized the juvenile capillary hemangioma made possible a conservative surgical excision and testicular repair. The case illustrates some of the difficulties that may be encountered in the successful management of testicular tumours.
