title: [Scrotal leiomyoma].
abstract: Genital leiomyomas of the scrotal skin are extremely rare benign tumors, originating from the tunica dartos of the scrotum. We describe a 55-year-old caucasian male with a 3-year history of a slowly growing asymptomatic scrotal knot which was first clinically regarded as a cyst and finally diagnosed histopathologically as leiomyoma. This typical case demonstrates that leiomyomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scrotal tumors.
