“…This case is the third paratesticular angioleiomyoma after that described by Shapiro et al 3 . and Ghei et al 5 . However, unlike these, we observed the presence of large vessels with hyalinized walls frequently associated with recent or organized thrombi.…”

Angioleiomyomas are common benign smooth muscle neoplasms in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of limbs. Very rarely have they been described in the external male genitalia with only two cases in the paratesticular tissues and another intratesticular. We report a case of a paratesticular angioleiomyoma with cytological atypia and a peculiar vascular pattern, found incidentally as a painless nodule in a 75-year-old man. The main clinicopathological features together with the differential diagnoses and the pertinent published reports are reviewed.

“…Angioleiomyomas of the testis and their adnexa (the spermatic cord, epididymis and testicular tunics) are very rarely found as asymptomatic and slowly growing masses 3–6 . This case is the third paratesticular angioleiomyoma after that described by Shapiro et al 3 .…”

“…5 Because of their embryological background, tumors arising from the male genitalia structures are mesodermal in origin. 6 These benign lesions tend to be asymptomatic and painless. 7 Although the patient in this report had painful scrotal mass for 2 months, he said that he had had painless scrotal mass for 6 years.…”

Angioleiomyoma of the scrotum is a rare benign lesion which can mimic a paratesticular tumor. Any solid mass within the scrotum is considered malignant until proven otherwise. Here, we present a case of an angioleiomyoma of the scrotum in a 33-year-old male who presented with painful scrotal mass. Scrotal ultrasonography demonstrated a solid mass in the scrotum, and surgical excision was carried out. Pathologic examination revealed that the tumor was angioleiomyoma.
