SCROTAL LEIOMYOMA - A RARE PARA-TESTICULAR TUMOUR

Abstract

Leiomyomas are benign tumours arising from smooth muscle. They are known to be the most common benign neoplasm arising from the uterus. Still, it is found to arise from other body regions such as ovaries, scrotum, bladder, and lungs, with scrotal leiomyoma being a rare entity. It is a slow-growing tumour with an asymptomatic nature. We present a male in his late forties with history of a right scrotal swelling for two years associated with occasional pain, which was clinically diagnosed as a sebaceous adenoma and subjected to surgical-wide local excision. The histopathological examination revealed a surprising diagnosis of leiomyoma of the scrotum.
