Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors which arise from smooth muscle cells. They are most commonly encountered in the uterus but leiomyomas originating from the scrotum is a rare entity and very few cases are reported in literature so far. There are three types of superficial leiomyoma based on their site of origin: piloleiomyoma arising from arrector pili, scrotal leiomyoma arising from dartos muscle, and angioleiomyoma arising from smooth muscles of blood vessels. Herein, we report a case of scrotal leiomyoma in a 60 years old male which was clinically diagnosed as sebaceous adenoma and was excised. Histopathological and Immunohistochemical features were consistent with leiomyoma and final diagnosis of scrotal leiomyoma was given. |
