Multiple congenital hemangioma in the scrotal area: case report

Abstract

Congenital hemangiomas are vascular tumors, which are classified as rapidly involuted and non-involuted. They mainly affect the Caucasian population, the distribution by sex is not significant. In most cases no treatment is required due to involution, however, when this is not the case the clinical picture of a hemangioma may be associated with complications such as: ulcers, soft tissue destruction, neoformations even with infection of the injured tissue. The present case report presents a 7-month-old patient with multiple congenital hemangiomas of non-involutive type that led to a process of ulceration with subsequent superinfection in the scrotal area involving soft tissue. The treatment was clinical and surgical, a selective beta-blocker was used, with a favorable prognosis of the patient
