Leiomyoma of the testis

Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1999 Oct;33(5):338-9. doi: 10.1080/003655999750017455.

Abstract

Testis leiomyoma is a very rare neoplasm. It is very difficult to perform an exact preoperative diagnosis; only histological examination can prove the presence of a leiomyoma. In our case radical orchidectomy was performed because of complete substitution of normal parenchyma, the extreme rarity at long-term follow-up of a reported benign intratesticular neoplasm, and the imperfect sensitivity of the extemporary histological examination.
