Abstract
A 41-year-old man visited our hospital because of a penile mass that had first been noted 3 years earlier and had gradually grown. On physical examination, there was a darkpurple mass on the dorsal aspect of the glans penis. Clinical diagnosis was hemangioma of the glans penis. The hemangioma was successfully resected and histopathologically diagnosed as venous hemangioma. Hemangioma of the glans penis is a rare tumor. Only 32 cases have been reported in Japan. Many treatments have been reported for hemangiomas of the penis. We believe that surgical excision is the most common and successful therapy to rule out malignancy.
