A case report with scrotal capillary “strawberry’’ hemangioma presented in infantile period
Abstract
Despite hemangiomas occur generally at head, neck, trunk and extremities during the infantile period, they located in the genital region rarely. Hemangiomas are rarely iso- lated on the scrotal skin and can spread to the penis, perineum, or intrascrotal area. In childhood, scrotal hemanjiyomas are generally in adolescents, and few cases have been reported in infants. Scrotal hemangiomas are usually self limited and regress after 1 year of age. Therefore conservative treatment is generally advised. If scrotal hemangiomas become symptomatic, may require surgical treatment. Local care and frequent diaper changing is a simple and effective treatment. In this study, we report a 3 months old boy patient who presented to our clinic with iso- lated scrotal ‘’strawberry’’ hemangioma. The patient was followed for 15 months with the recommendation of local lesion care. There were no complications and lesion size regressed during follow-up.
