Epididymal leiomyoadenomatoid tumor: A case report with literature review

Primary epididymal tumors are rare. Adenomatoid tumors comprise 30% of paratesticular tumors. They are benign neoplasms originating from mesothelial cells. On the other hand, leiomyomas, originating from smooth muscle cells, are less common in paratesticular region. Leiomyoadenomatoid tumor is a ben...

Sumario:Primary epididymal tumors are rare. Adenomatoid tumors comprise 30% of paratesticular tumors. They are benign neoplasms originating from mesothelial cells. On the other hand, leiomyomas, originating from smooth muscle cells, are less common in paratesticular region. Leiomyoadenomatoid tumor is a benign tumor which combines the morphologic features of adenomatoid tumor and leiomyoma. To the best of knowledge, only two cases of leiomyoadenomatoid tumor in the paratesticular location have been reported in the literature. We document another such case.
