“…Although RS is quite rare, dermatologists should bear it in mind in patients with multiple leiomyomas because of the risk of severe uterine fibroids and in some cases aggressive renal cancer [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Even though cutaneous leiomyomas are benign tumors, women affected by this condition can develop uterine fibroids with pain, menorrhagia and infertility.…”

A Case of Reed's Syndrome: An Underdiagnosed Tumor Disorder

Cutaneous leiomyomas are uncommon, benign smooth muscle tumors originating from the arrector pili muscle of the hair follicle that are frequently unrecognized and underdiagnosed by clinicians. They sometimes coexist with common uterine fibroids in an inherited disorder named multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis, also referred to as Reed's syndrome. We report a case of Reed's syndrome in a young woman who had been misdiagnosed for many years.

“…Leiomyomas also rarely develop in other locations, such as the scrotum, ovaries, bladder, lung, vascular structures, and spermatic cord [2] . Extrauterine leiomyomas may be classified according to the site of origin as a piloleiomyoma (derived from arrector pili muscles of hair follicles), an angioleiomyoma (from vessel wall smooth muscle), or a genital leiomyoma (derived from tunica dartos of scrotum and myoepithelial cells of the nipple) [3] . The most common subtype of extrauterine leiomyoma is the piloleiomyoma, and the least common is the genital leiomyoma [4] .…”

Scrotal sac leiomyoma: Case report of a rare benign scrotal mass

Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors, the overwhelming majority of which are located in the uterus. Rare cases arise in other organs, including the scrotum, pelvis, bladder, and spermatic cord. This report evaluates the case of a 37-year-old man with a history of prior left inguinal hernia repair, who presented with a painless right scrotal mass. He first noticed the mass approximately 1 year prior to his initial visit. Subsequent ultrasound of the scrotum demonstrated a 5-cm circumscribed, hypoechoic, mildly vascular extratesticular mass located within the right hemiscrotum. Based on the initial imaging, the differential diagnosis included lipoma, adenomatoid tumor, papillary cystadenoma, leiomyoma, fibrous pseudotumor, sarcoid granuloma, sarcoma (including liposarcoma, rhabdosarcoma, or leiomyosarcoma), lymphoma, and an extranumerary testis. The mass had circumscribed margins, suggesting an encapsulated lesion, and was completely separate from the testicle on ultrasound. Despite this, testicular malignancy was not entirely excluded as a diagnosis, although it was considered far less likely. The patient was definitively treated with surgical excision of the mass. Pathology of the surgical specimen confirmed diagnosis of leiomyoma, a rare scrotal mass.
