Testis leiomyoma is a very rare neoplasm. It is very difficult to perform an exact preoperative diagnosis; only histological examination can prove the presence of a leiomyoma. In our case radical orchidectomy was performed because of complete substitution of normal parenchyma, the extreme rarity at long-term follow-up of a reported benign intratesticular neoplasm, and the imperfect sensitivity of the extemporary histological examination.
Our study shows that starting with blood gas analytical data we can completely study the metabolism of the corpora cavernosa and its relationships to erectile dysfunction. Cavernous histomorphometry can suggest the presence of smooth muscle into cavernous tissue, whereas our mathematical elaboration allowed us to evaluate all data in a more complete manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
