[Testicular capillary hemangioma, report a twelve year patient].

Capillary hemangiomas of the testis are extremly rare tumors. We reported a case of intratesticular hemangioma, unusually localisation of this vascular benign neoplasm. The patient was 12 year old boy, with hydrocele and a palpabile testicular mass. Scrotal sonography revealed varicocele and hydrocele in the left scrotal sac. There was a solid hypoechogenic zone 5 mm in diameter in the left testis. Tumor markers like serum level of beta human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha fetoprotein were normal. The patient underwent surgery, and intraoperativ frozen section showed a capillary hemangioma. The lesion was completly removed, but testis was preserved. Accordingly tu the literature, tumors of vascular origin are extremly rare. Capillary hemangiomas of the testis are similarity to malignant testicular solid tumors during physical examination, ultrasound examination and MR imaging. Before operation, it's hardly differentiate tumors of testis, but intraoperativ frozen section cuold be helpfull to differentiate a hemangioma from other testicular mass. Hemangioma is benign, but lesion must be complete removed to avoid recurence. In cases capillarx hemangimas, tumor enucleation with preservation tissue of the testis is possible if intraoperative frozen section examination can be performed.
