Intrascrotal hemangioendothelioma in infancy.
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.
