[Intraparenchymatous vascular tumors of the testicle: report of a new case of cavernous hemangioma].
The occurrence of a vascular tumour at the intraparenchymatous testicular level is a fact little reported in the literature. Searching for such events, 19 cases were found all of which showed benign clinical behaviour. The most commonly seen histological pattern is cavernous haemangioma (11 patients). Mean age at presentation is 19 years old and the most usual pre-operative diagnosis, germinal cell neoplasia. Since there are no specific ultrasound patterns that may allow to differentiate benign from malignant masses, inguinal orchiectomy is the choice treatment in this type of lesions. Furthermore, the case of a 44-year old patient with hypoechogenic solid mass in left testis who consulted for sporadic episodes of long-standing scrotal pain is presented. After radical exeresis of the gonad, the histological analysis showed existence of testicular cavernous haemangioma.
