Abstract

Testicular tumors in infants are rare and most of them are malignant. Hemangioma of the testis is an extremely rare tumor in infants. We report on an intratesticular capillary hemangioma that appeared in a 10 month-old child subsequently undergoing orchidectomy and on the patient's evolution at 4 years. The histological characteristics showed proliferation of small blood vessels, lined with endothelial cells. Mitoses and atypias were not found. Permitting differential diagnosis with other vascular tumors: Masson's vegetant intravascular hemangio-endothelioma and angiosarcoma.
