Histopathologically can be categorized into four types, including capillary, cavernous, papillary endothelial hyperplasia, and epithelioid (histiocytoid). We report a case of a 24-year-old presenting with left inguinal pain, diagnosed with an epithelioid (histiocytoid) hemangioma of the testis. Diagnostic evaluation included scrotal doppler ultrasonography, which revealed a small, hypoechoic formation with evident vascularization. Serum tumor markers were within normal limits. Surgical excision via testis-sparing surgery (TSS) was performed based on frozen section analysis. A literature review underscores the rarity of testicular histiocytoid hemangiomas. Advancements in diagnostic technique have improved the accuracy of diagnosis and allowed for more conservative surgical approaches, preserving fertility and minimizing long-term adverse effects. In conclusion, while testicular hemangiomas may present characteristic features on ultrasound, frozen section examination remains crucial in guiding surgical decision-making. TSS offers significant advantages over traditional excisional surgery, including reduced morbidity and preservation of cancer control, making it an essential option in the management of testicular hemangiomas, particularly in young patients concerned about fertility preservation.
