Int J Surg Pathol. 2011 Jun;19(3):398-400. doi: 10.1177/1066896908323416. Epub 2009 Jan 14.

Abstract

Testicular hemangiomas are benign vascular neoplasms usually occurring in children. Pathologists must be aware of this entity when performing intraoperative frozen sections as, after diagnosis, testicle-sparing surgery is adequate. The authors present a typical case with immunohistochemical studies and a review of the literature.
