title: [Differential diagnosis of epididymal leiomyoma. Report of a new case].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A case of epididymal leiomyoma is presented. This lesion is uncommon and sometimes misdiagnosed. The literature is briefly reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 29-year-old patient presented with a tumor in the tail of the right epididymis that was initially diagnosed as scrotal hematoma or complex cyst in the tail of the epididymis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ultrasound has an important role in distinguishing testicular from epididymal tumors. However, if the diagnosis is unclear, surgical resection and subsequent anatomopathological analysis must be performed.
