Primary testicular leiomyosarcoma.
We report a case of primary testicular leiomyosarcoma. A 76-year-old man, who complained of left scrotal swelling for 6 months, underwent radical orchiectomy. Microscopic examination revealed intratesticular leiomyosarcoma. The patient received no adjuvant therapy and at 12 months after surgery, there had been no recurrence. Primary leiomyosarcoma of the testis is extremely rare; this is the 9th case recorded worldwide.
