Capillary testicular hemangioma in an infant: A case report

Abstract

Capillary testicular hemangioma is a rare disease that predominantly affects children. Presentation mimics testicular malignancy thereby  creating challenge in the differential diagnosis. We report a case of a 9-month-old infant who presented with unilateral testicular  swelling. Testicular biopsy revealed a capillary hemangioma. Treatment was oral propranolol for sixty days with complete regression of  the swelling. We share our clinical experience and diagnostic challenges so as to raise awareness of this particular rare entity.
