Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hemangiolymphangiomas are extremely rare tumours arising from blood and lymphatic vessels. It is a benign disorder, and 95% are of the neck and axilla. OBJECTIVE: To present a case of hemangiolymphangioma of the spermatic cord with contralateral recurrence. CLINICAL CASE: A 17-year-old patient with a progressively growing tumour in the right inguinoscrotal region. Examination revealed a painless, movable and soft right inguinoscrotal tumour, mobile and soft. Surgical resection showed a 25×25cm tumour from spermatic cord, right testicle, and subcutaneous cellular tissue. Histopathological study reported a hemangiolymphangioma. CONCLUSIONS: The spermatic cord is an unusual location of hemangiolymphangiomas with contralateral recurrence. Surgical treatment, with histopathological diagnosis, is associated with good prognosis.
