Abstract

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor that arises from smooth muscle. It may be encountered at any part of the body especially the uterus. However, scrotal localization is very uncommon, hence it often requires radiologic and pathology correlation to establish an accurate diagnosis and make optimal decisions for subsequent treatment. We present a case of an 82-years-old male, presenting with a left scrotal mass. Ultrasound and MRI demonstrated a left paratesticular mass. Surgery was then indicated and pathology results were consistent with a scrotal leiomyoma.
