Summary

Scrotal leiomyomas are rare benign tumors. A specific type with increased mitosis requires close follow-up due to potential malignant transformation, as seen in this case report.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Scrotal leiomyomas are rare, typically benign tumors.
  • Malignant transformation to leiomyosarcoma and recurrence are documented.
  • A subset with atypical features necessitates vigilant monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of scrotal leiomyoma with concerning histological features.
  • To highlight the importance of follow-up for atypical scrotal leiomyomas.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 65-year-old male patient.
  • Surgical excision of a scrotal lump.
  • Histopathological analysis of the tumor.

Main Results:

  • Histology revealed a well-defined leiomyoma.

Published on: December 22, 2023

  • Nuclear pleomorphism and increased mitoses were noted, bordering on malignancy criteria.
  • The patient remains well after a 4-year follow-up.

    • Conclusions:

    • Increased mitotic activity in scrotal leiomyomas indicates malignant potential.
    • Sustained follow-up is crucial for patients with high mitosis counts.
    • Immunohistochemistry aids in identifying patients needing close monitoring.
