Sumario:Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms that originate from smooth muscle cells. Leiomyoma of the testis is exceedlingly rare. We present a case demonstrating a 1.3 cm hypoehoic mass of the left testis but with significant enhancement on contrast-enhanced scrotal ultrasonography concerning for a malignant neoplasm in a 33-year-old Hispanic male. However, his final pathology revealed a benign disease, specifically intratesticular leiomyoma. We discuss the role of contrast-enhanced scrotal ultrasound in this disease process.
