Abstract:
Capillary hemangioma of the testis is extremely rare. Because it is difficult to differentiate from malignant testicular tumors clinically and radiologically, radical orchiectomy is usually performed. Although the fate of hemangiomas of the testis left untreated is unknown, there is no evidence that hemangiomas become malignant. We report a case of a 2-year-old child with capillary hemangioma of the testis which was diagnosed as a malignant tumor preoperatively.
