Intra-Scrotal Extra-Testicular Leiomyoma, a Common Mesenchymal Tumor at a Rare Site: Emphasizing the Need for Awareness of Its Occurrence ()
Abstract
Leiomyoma is a benign
tumor of smooth muscles. Leiomyoma originating from the scrotum is a rare
entity. We report a case of 53-year-old African male who presented with a 3 cm
lump in the right side of scrotum. Clinically, it was provisionally diagnosed
as sebaceous cyst and was excised. The histopathology showed a leiomyoma. There
was no cytological atypia or mitosis. The patient also had squamous papilloma
over left gluteal region.
