Case report confirmed benign leiomyoma in a 56-year-old male with scrotal swelling, suggesting surgical excision and careful histopathology for assessment.
Leiomyomas are uncommon benign tumors of the genitourinary system that can mimic benign scrotal lesions such as sebaceous cysts. A 56-year-old male with a 20-year history of a painless scrotal swelling. It was hard, irregular, non-tender swelling in lower midline of scrotum, distinct from both testes and spermatic cords. He underwent complete surgical excision of a 4 x 5cm lesion. Histopathology confirmed a benign leiomyoma without atypia or any mitotic activity. There was no recurrence at 1 year follow-up. Scrotal leiomyomas is one of the differentials in a long-standing scrotal swelling. Surgical excision is both diagnostic and curative. • Scrotal leiomyoma can be one of the differential of chronic scrotal lesions in middle aged men. • It is necessary that histopathologist performs a careful assessment for the any subtle feature of malignancy. • Conservative management recommended initially and surgical excision can be considered when increasing in size or becomes symptomatic.
