Abstract
We report a rare case of scrotal arteriovenous malformation in an adol escent. Arteriovenous malformation of the scrotum is distinguished rad iographically and histologically by numerous arterioles and thick wall ed veins with no intervening capillary bed. The cardinal sign is a bru it. Complete excision is recommended as definitive treatment. Preopera tive angio-embolization may be helpful but it should not be relied upo n for clinical resolution.
