leiomyoma/tunica

Myxoid leiomyoma is an extremely rare tumor, presenting as a scrotal mass. We report a case of 60 years male, who presented with a painless scrotal mass and operated as secondary hydrocoele. This lesion should be differentiated from other myxoid tumors and tumors with myxoid degeneration.

Background. Genital leiomyomas fall under the broader category of cutaneous leiomyomas, which are rare smooth muscle neoplasms accounting for 5% of all leiomyomas. Genital leiomyomas arising from the dartos muscle are exceedingly rare with fewer than 30 cases reported in the literature. They are

Leiomyoma is an uncommon lesion which may originate anywhere within the genitourinary system where smooth muscle is present. The third case of leiomyoma of the testicular tunica albuginea is reported, and other reports of genitourinary leiomyomas are reviewed.

A case of intrascrotal leiomyoma originating from tunica vaginalis is reported. The patient was a 63-year-old male who complained of painless tumor of the right scrotal contents. The tumor was surgically removed easily. The histological examination of the tumor revealed leiomyoma. Seven cases of

Leiomyomas are benign neoplasms that may arise from any structure or organ containing smooth muscle. The majority of genitourinary leimyomas are found in the renal capsule, but this tumor has also been reported in the epididymis, spermatic cord, and tunica albuginea. Sonography is the imaging

A leiomyoma of the left testicle was found in a 7-year-old Arabian stallion at routine castration. The neoplasm consisted of interlacing bundles of well-differentiated, haphazardly arranged, smooth muscle cells attached superficially to the tunica albuginea.

Genitourinary leiomyomas are uncommon but may arise from any structure or organ containing smooth muscle. The kidney capsule is the most common location for genitourinary leiomyomas. We report a case of bilateral synchronous leiomyomas of the testicular tunica albuginea.

A 64-year-old man presented with difficulty in passing urine. He was found to have two benign tumours, one in the lower pole of each testis, and a carcinoma of the prostate (all confirmed histologically). He was given no treatment initially but when his prostatic cancer showed signs of progression

BACKGROUND Leiomyomas are benign tumours that originate from smooth muscles. They are often seen in the uterus, but also in the renal pelvis, bladder, spermatic cord, epididymis, prostate, scrotum or the glans penis. Leiomyomas of the tunica albuginea are extremely rare. METHODS A 59-year-old white

We report a case of solitary genital leiomyoma arising from the tunica dartos of the scrotum. A 43-year-old man complained of a slightly tender left scrotal mass that had enlarged over approximately 17 years. On physical examination, the tumor was pedunculate and attached to the lower pole of the

A benign neoplasm of smooth muscle origin was found in the tunica vaginalis testis of a 13-year-old male Miniature Poodle. The leiomyoma had caused hydrocele and atrophy of the corresponding testis. It consisted of bundles of interwoven smooth muscle cells with elongated nuclei and areas of

Leiomyoma of the bilateral testicular tunica albuginea is extremely rare. To our knowledge, there are only 3 definitely reported cases. This is the first report of bilateral testicular tunica albuginea leiomyomas as a potential cause of male infertility. Herein, we report a case of a 47-year-old man

Of 127 patients with primary neoplasms of the scrotal wall 10 had a solitary leiomyoma arising from the tunica dartos. These benign asymptomatic lesions occur in middle-age white men and are often incorrectly diagnosed. Simple surgical excision is curative. The 11th case is described because of the
