It is often clinically confusedwith a vascular or malignant tumor. Case presentation Here, we report a case of a 67-year-old man who presented with a tumor in the scrotum scrotal region for 6 years. The tumor had begun as a small nodule and had grown slowly with over time. Surgical excision and pathological examination revealed that the lesion was the a giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma. Conclusion This study reports the first case of giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma in the scrotum.
