description | Although hemangioma is a common benign tumor of childhood, hemangioma of the genitalia is rarely seen. Multiple treatment options are available for the management of ulcerated hemangiomas but deciding on surgery to treat an ulcerated genital hemangioma is usually difficult due to the lack of guidelines addressing this entity. Here we report a case of an ulcerated hemangioma of the scrotum, that was managed by surgical excision in a four-month-old boy, and a review of related literature. |
