Popis: Epididymal leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors of smooth muscle origin. We present a case of a low-grade tumor with negative margins managed with a high-radical inguinal orchiectomy. Our review of the literature suggests that low-grade and localized tumors with negative margins can be managed with simple epididymectomy and imaging surveillance.
