title: [Cavernous hemangioma of the scrotum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of scrotal cavernous hemangioma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 4-year old boy with a painful left scrotal mass is described. The epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this tumor are reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Analysis of the surgical specimen disclosed a scrotal cavernous hemangioma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A scrotal mass diagnosed at an uncommon age or atypical site warrants considering hemangioma as a possible etiology.
