Testicular Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma Of An 80-Year-Old: A Case Report And Literature Review.

Abstract

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor of low or intermediate malignant potential most often appearing in the extremities or retroperitoneum in infants and children. Vascular tumors such as KHE are sometimes complicated by consumptive coagulopathy, a condition termed Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP). KHE presentation in adults is extremely rare, and to our knowledge, has never been reported in an individual over 75 years old, nor in the male genitalia. This article describes the case of an 80-year-old white male with KHE presenting as a testicular mass.
