title: [Leiomyoma of the epididymis. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Leiomyoma of the epididymis is a benign tumor that is rarely diagnosed and is second only to epididymal adenomatoid lesions in frequency. A case of leiomyoma of the epididymis in a 62-year-old patient is described. The patient presented with a tumor in the tail of the left epididymis which was definitively diagnosed following surgical resection and subsequent anatomopathological analysis. The classification, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this tumor type are briefly discussed.
