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 gener-ally 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 re-gressed during follow-up.

Keywords: Infantile, Scrotum, Haeman-gioma.
