Abstract
- Hemangioma is the most common congenital anomaly in the human. It represents a proliferation of endothelial cells and has been characterized as a benign neoplasm. Hemangiomas involving the genitalia comprise 2% of all such masses. Arteriovenous hemangioma is a benign congenital lesion that rarely involves the scrotum or urethra and primarily presents during childhood. We report a case of subcutaneous scrotal and urethral hemangioma that has caused persistent urethral bleeding in a 14-year-old boy who was treated by en bloc excision.
