title: [A case of primary bilateral epididymal leiomyoma].
abstract: Primary epididymal tumors are relatively rare entity. Leiomyoma is the second most common benign epididymal tumor. Recently, we experienced a case of primary bilateral epididymal leiomyoma. A 50-year-old man presented with painless masses in both epididymal tails several years in duration. Solid tumors of both epididymal tails with undetermined characteristics were diagnosed. At surgery both masses were solid and smooth and were found to be well-demarcated. They were removed without difficulty. Pathology was bilateral epididymal leiomyoma. We also reviewed 55 cases of epididymal leiomyoma in the Japanese literature.
