Urethral hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors with varying size and usually present as urethral bleeding and/ or hematuria. Treatment depends on the size and site of the lesion. We present a 27 year old male with a two year history of intermittent episodes of urethral bleeding. Cystourethroscopy showed a solitary hemangioma in the penile urethra. The patient was treated with simple transurethral excision with the biopsy forceps. The catheter was removed 48 hours later. He remains symptom free four months later. Simple excision of small hemangiomas may be an effective treatment especially for young patients in order to avoid the side effects of diathermy and when facilities such is laser are not available.

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) is a rare, usually multifocal neoplasm typically affecting individuals in the second-to-fourth decade of life, with a male predominance. It often arises in the distal extremities and characteristically involves multiple tissue planes. Presentation of this neoplasm as a primary penile lesion is exceedingly rare, with only five cases previously documented in the literature.

Total colonoscopy detected sessile or subpedunculated polyps in the ascending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum. These polyps were endoscopically resected, and the rectal polyp was pathologically diagnosed as adenocarcinoma in adenoma and the others as adenomas.

An 8-year-old boy initially thought to have a penile arteriovenous malformation was later diagnosed with a rare vascular sarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). Despite challenges in diagnosis, he underwent supraselective angioembolization and partial penectomy for oncological clearance. EHE, a low-grade malignancy, requires prompt identification and treatment due to potential systemic involvement.

Epithelioid hemangioma (EH), also known as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, is an unusual vascular proliferation that tends to manifest in the head and neck region. Its occurrence on the penis is rare, with only scarce reported cases in the literature. The histopathological examination of this condition poses a challenge because it shares similarities with other entities, such as epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, epithelioid angiosarcoma, cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule, or Kaposi sarcoma (KS).
