“…The etiology of glans hemangioma is not completely understood. Although some investigators maintain that it should be considered a congenital vascular anomaly or a benign vascular neoplasm [4][5][6], others believe that it could be produced by herniation of the cavernous body tissue, as in the present case [7], or that it could grow up through the revascularization of a previous penile hematoma [8]. Therapeutic options for small lesions include surgical therapy, electrofulguration and cryotherapy .…”

A 21-year-old man presented with an enlarged giant hemangioma on glans penis which also causes an erectile dysfunction (ED) that partially responded to the intracavernous injection stimulation test. Although the findings in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated a glandular hemangioma, penile colored Doppler ultrasound revealed an invaded cavernausal hemangioma to the glans. Surgical excision was avoided according to the broad extension of the gland lesion. Holmium laser coagulation was applied to the lesion due to the cosmetically concerns. However, the cosmetic results after holmium laser application was not impressive as expected without an improvement in intracavernous injection stimulation test. In conclusion, holmium laser application should not be used to the hemangiomas of glans penis related to the corpus cavernosum, but further studies are needed to reveal the effects of holmium laser application in small hemangiomas restricted to the glans penis.

We report a case of 24-year-old male presenting with painless penoscrotal swelling for 3 years. On examination, a large soft bag of worm-like, superficial, nonpulsatile swelling was present in scrotum and penis. Color Doppler showed dilated tortuous vessels and on angiography no connections to corpora or vessels were seen. So a diagnosis of hemangioma was made and a surgical excision was carried out by circumcoronal and scrotal incisions. Postop course was uneventful. At 6 months of follow-up, no recurrence was seen and wound had healed with excellent cosmetic appearance.

“…It is difficult to distinguish a hemangioma from spongiosum tissue. There is still controversy about whether penile hemangiomas are true neoplasms or result from the herniation of the corpus spongiosum or from vascularization caused by a hematoma or thrombus [7][8][9][10]. It is generally considered that penile hemangiomas are mulberry-sized, purple, elevated, compressible lesions that are often associated with a defect in the underlying tunica albuginea.…”
