Abstract:
Paratesticular leiomyoma is a rare benign neoplasm that may arise from smooth muscle cells contained in either the epididymis, the spermatic cord, or the tunica albuginea. Usually patients present a palpable, asymptomatic mass, with a higher prevalence among the fourth and fifth decade of life. In this case report we describe a 57-year-old man with bilateral scrotal palpable masses evaluated with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging that were suggestive for leiomyoma. The lesions were surgically removed and pathology revealed no signs of malignancy confirming the diagnostic hypothesis of leiomyoma. Ultrasound is considered the imaging modality of choice for the initial evaluation of testicular masses since it allows an accurate localization (ie testicular vs paratesticular) and can identify signs of malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging is less frequently performed but can considerably improve lesion characterization.
