Abstrakt: Objective: A case of epididymal leiomyoma is presented. This lesion is uncommon and sometimes misdiagnosed. The literature is briefly reviewed.
Methods/results: A 29-year-old patient presented with a tumor in the tail of the right epididymis that was initially diagnosed as scrotal hematoma or complex cyst in the tail of the epididymis.
Results/conclusions: Ultrasound has an important role in distinguishing testicular from epididymal tumors. However, if the diagnosis is unclear, surgical resection and subsequent anatomopathological analysis must be performed.
