TESTICULAR JUVENILE CAPILLARY HEMANGIOMA - CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT WITH FROZEN-SECTION EXAMINATION - A CASE-REPORT

Juvenile capillary hemangioma, an exceptionally rare benign neoplasm, seen in an 18-year-old patient, was managed in an unorthodox fashion. The patient insisted on a conservative approach to the management of h is tumour. In an effort to comply with his wishes, frozen-section exam ination of the tumour was carried out. The astute observations of the pathologist who recognized the juvenile capillary hemangioma made poss ible a conservative surgical excision and testicular repair. The case illustrates some of the difficulties that may be encountered in the su ccessful management of testicular tumours.
