Intravascular lobular capillary hemangioma (ILCH), also known as intravenous pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular lesion with a distinctive lobular arrangement of capillaries. It is typically confined to the head, neck, and upper extremities, and its occurrence in the testicular region is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case of a 68-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with a testicular tumor based on imaging studies but was later found to have an ILCH located in the epididymis. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by this rare entity due to its unusual presentation and mimicking of malignant conditions.
血管内小叶状毛细血管瘤(ILCH),也称为静脉化脓性肉芽肿,是一种良性血管病变,具有独特的小叶状毛细血管排列。它通常局限于头、颈和上肢,在睾丸区域极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例68岁男性病例,该患者最初根据影像学检查被诊断为睾丸肿瘤,但后来发现附睾中有一个血管内小叶状毛细血管瘤。由于其不寻常的表现以及对恶性疾病的模仿,该病例凸显了这种罕见疾病所带来的诊断挑战。
