Testicular hemangioma mimicking a malignant neoplasm

Testicular hemangioma mimicking a malignant neoplasm

A 34-year-old man who presented with right scrotal pain, and who on subsequent ultrasound examination, was found to have an intratesticular hypoechoic mass. Based on the ultrasound appearance of this mass, a malignant germ cell tumor was thought to be the most likely diagnosis. Preoperative serum tumor markers, including lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-1-fetoprotein, and beta-human chorionic gonad...

Pedunculated liver hemangioma mimicking stomach neoplasm

Hepatic hemangiomas are the most frequently seen benign liver mass. However, exophytic hepatic hemangiomas, particularly pedunculated ones are very rare. They have various appearances that make the diagnosis difficult. We report a pedunculated hemangioma case which was misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor on computerized tomography scan. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the tu...

Figure 1-Contrast-enhanced MRI showed a lesion (arrow) hypointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images with homogenous and avid contrast enhancement partially encasing the cerebral dura mater in the polus temporalis. I nflammatory pseudotumor is a non-neopl...

Cavernous hemangioma of the testis mimicking a testicular teratoma

In this study we report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the testis, which mimicked a testicular teratoma. A 42-year-old male presented with a left testicular swelling that had arisen suddenly and been present for three months. Scrotal ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass with several calcifications in the left testicle. The mass demonstrated blood flow in the color Doppler mode. A radical or...
