title: Intratesticular leiomyoma: a case report.
abstract: A case of leiomyoma of the testis is reported. The origin of the intratesticular leiomyoma is controversial, but recently it is thought to arise from the contractile cells in the tunica propria of the seminiferous tubules. This is the first case reported in Japan and the fifth in the world literature.
