title: [A case report of testicular leiomyosarcoma].
abstract: This report describes a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the testis in a 70-year-old man. Treatment consisted in orchidectomy by the inguinal route with no adjuvant treatment. The patient developed pulmonary metastasis 14 months after surgical treatment. Few reports have been published on primary leiomyosarcoma of the testis. Most reported cases have been in small series in association with germ cell tumors. Surgical treatment is the most effective therapeutic modality. The standard surgical technique is orchidectomy by the inguinal route. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is not always performed. The prognosis of isolated testicular sarcoma is better than that of sarcoma associated with germ cell components.
