title: Leiomyosarcoma of the scrotum.
abstract: A case of leiomyosarcoma of the scrotum is reported for its rarity. The tumor measured 6.2 x 4 x 4 cm and presented as a gradually increasing painless mass of 1 month duration. Light microscopy showed the typical interlacing fascicles of neoplastic cells with mitotic count of 1-2 / 10 HPF in different areas. Immunoperoxidase stains of vimentin & desmin and electron microscopy confirmed its muscle origin.
