“…On microscopy, they are seen to be well-circumscribed lesions composed of interlacing bundles of smooth muscle cells. [15] In the present study, we reported a case of intratesticular leiomyoma which, on gross examination, measured 10.5 x 9 x 7.5 cm and microscopically, was composed of loose fascicles of spindle cells with vesicular uniform nuclei in a hyalinized stroma. These tumours are exceptionally rare.…”

Introduction: Orchidectomy is a medical procedure to remove one or both testicles in males.The testis can be removed for torsion/infarction,infection,therapeutic castration for prostate cancer,cryptorchidism and tumor.In our study we did a histomorphological study these lesions which is a rare surgery other than therapeutic purpose. Aims & Objectives: The aim of our study was to emphasise the clinical, radiological and histomorphological features of the rare orchiectomy procedure in various conditions of testis and to find out the clinical relevance. Materials & Methods: This was a retrospective and prospective analysis done for 18 months (January 2016-June 2017). All orchidectomy specimens received in the Department of Pathology were analyzed with respect to clinical indications,radiology,morphology and microscopic features. Results: Out of a total of 23 orchidectomy cases 16 were unilateral and 7 bilateral.Most common age group was 50 to 70 years(13).The youngest and eldest patients were 6 & 89 years respectively.The most common etiology was therapeutic(7 cases of carcinoma prostate ), torsion in 6,epididymo-orchitis in 3,benign tumours in 2,inflammtory causes in 3 and one case of cryptorchidism. Conclusion: Our study helped us to assess and evaluate the clinical relevance of orchidectomy by histomorphological study of these lesions and to defer the procedure in certain non-tumoral cases for the benefit of the patient.

“…They may originate from the smooth muscle cells of vessels as well as totipotent teratomas [6]. According to another opinion, they originate from the tunica propria of seminiferous tubules or smooth muscle cells of the tunica albuginea [1]. On macroscopic evaluation, they are well-defined, having a whorled cut surface [1][2][3].…”

“…They may arise from the renal pelvis, urinary bladder, spermatic cord, epididymis, prostate, glans penis, or the scrotum in the urinary system. However, leiomyomas located in the testis are extremely rare [1,2]. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

ÖzetLeiomyomlar düz kas hücrelerinden köken alan benign tümörlerdir. En sık uterusda görülmek ile birlikte renal pelviste, mesane, spermatik kord, epididim, prostat, skrotum ve glans peniste de görülürler. Ancak tunika albugineada oldukça nadirdir. Biz burada 72 yaşında tunika albugineada yerleşim gösteren bir leiomyom olgusunu sunuyoruz. Anahtar KelimelerTestis; Leiomyom; Radikal Orşiektomi AbstractLeiomyomas are benign tumors originating from smooth muscle cells. Though most commonly reported in the uterus, they may also originate from the renal pelvis, urinary bladder, spermatic cord, epididymis, prostate, scrotum, or glans penis.However, location in the tunica albuginea is extremely rare. Herein, we will report a diagnosed leiomyoma located in the tunica albuginea in a 72-year-old patient.
