Intratesticular Leiomyoma: Lessons Learned From a Case Report and Another Contribution to Enlarge a Small World Series

Leiomyomas are benign, slow-growing, mesenchymal neoplasms that originate from smooth muscle. We report a case of a 44-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic left scrotal mass. Scrotal ultrasonography (US) showed a 3.9 cm well-limited, hypoechoic intratesticular mass. The patient underwent a ra...

Sumario:Leiomyomas are benign, slow-growing, mesenchymal neoplasms that originate from smooth muscle. We report a case of a 44-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic left scrotal mass. Scrotal ultrasonography (US) showed a 3.9 cm well-limited, hypoechoic intratesticular mass. The patient underwent a radical left orchiectomy and histologic findings revealed an intratesticular leiomyoma. To our best knowledge, so far, this is the 19(th) case of intratesticular leiomyoma to be reported in the literature. Furthermore, intraoperative frozen section examination should have been part of the management armamentarium in this case, leading to enhanced testicular preservation.
