What is testicular hemangioma?

There are many diseases that men are prone to. The choice of treatment method is crucial, especially for the treatment of male reproductive organ diseases. The choice of method cannot be done arbitrarily, otherwise it will have a great impact on the male reproductive organs. Testicular hemangioma is a common disease in men. This kind of disease is very harmful to the male body. Men should be treated in time after suffering from it. What is the matter with testicular hemangioma?

What is testicular hemangioma?

The cause of testicular hemangioma is still unknown. Studies have found that vascular factors, including VEGF and bFGF, play an important role in the proliferation of hemangiomas. Testicular hemangiomas are more common in children and infants. They are usually found during physical examinations with progressive enlargement of the testicles with or without pain or without special discomfort. A small number of cases are red, swollen and painful due to intratumoral bleeding, infarction or concurrent acute epididymitis. Tumor markers are normal. Zina Ricci et al. proposed that when testicular masses show extensive and rich blood flow signals and low blood flow resistance on color Doppler images, the possibility of hemangioma should be considered. The echo of hemangioma can change from low echo to high echo.

This case has these characteristics. In addition, testicular hemangioma may also show heterogeneity in color Doppler ultrasound, and in some cases, it may also show calcification. Because the reproductive system is extremely sensitive to radiation, there is no detailed report on radioactivity in the relevant literature. In this case of testicular hemangioma, because the possibility of malignancy could not be ruled out before surgery, CT plain scan plus enhanced examination was performed to understand the stage, showing local nodular enhancement in the venous and delayed phases, indicating that it is rich in blood vessels.

It is difficult to distinguish malignant germ cell tumors from other tumors due to their similarities in clinical, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging changes. The final diagnosis depends on intraoperative frozen sections or postoperative routine pathology.

After understanding what testicular hemangioma is, improving this disease needs to be based on the patient's cause and symptoms. The most common treatment method is surgery. This treatment method is very helpful in alleviating this disease in men. At the same time, testicular hemangioma can be controlled to avoid more damage to the male body.
