We present a unique case of angiofibroma of the scrotum in a 3-year-old child. A previous red plaque has been observed in the same region since the neonatal period. The boy underwent total excision of the mass. We suggest a close follow-up of any erythematous lesion of the genital region; in case of rapid increase, it is important to proceed to prompt surgical excision.

Abstract

We present a unique case of angiofibroma of the scrotum in a 3-year-old child. A previous red plaque has been observed in the same region since the neonatal period. The boy underwent total excision of the mass. We suggest a close follow-up of any erythematous lesion of the genital region; in case of rapid increase, it is important to proceed to prompt surgical excision.
