Abstract

This report presents a case of primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma.
A 73-year-old male presented with a 6-year history of left
scrotal swelling. A radiological examination revealed a left testicular
tumour with multiple metastases in the lung, para-aortic
lymph node and other organs. A radical orchiectomy was carried
out and the pathology revealed an intratesticular leiomyosarcoma.
The patient received additional chemotherapy. Cases of primary
intratesticular leiomyosarcoma are rare. This is, to the best of our
knowledge, only the tenth case of leiomyisaocoma in an adult
reported in the literature, and the first case involving multiple
metastases.
