Leiomyoma on the shaft of penis

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Primary soft tissue tumours of the penis, such as leiomyomas, are very rare. Most present as small and painless but gradually increasing swellings on the penis. To the best of our knowledge, only 9 cases have been reported in the literature so far. This rare pathologic finding, which usually mimics a malignant lesion, should be included in the differential diagnosis of penile neoplasm. Surgical excision of the lesion provides both the histological diagnosis and an effective therapy. We report a case of a large leiomyoma on the shaft of the penis measuring 8x5 cm, which possibly represents the largest reported leiomyoma of the penis in English literature till date.</jats:p>

Leiomyoma on the penile shaft

“…Early surgical excision is therefore advised to provide both a diagnosis as well as a cure. 2 In an extensive search of literature, it was found out that less than ten cases have been reported till date.…”

Uncommon Detection of Leiomyoma in the Penile Corpus Spongiosum Using FDG PET/CT

“…Leiomyoma of the penis is an extremely rare location for the tumor. Literature review revealed less than 10 cases reported so far [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. None of them revealing description of the scintigraphic findings on FDG PET/CT of a corpus spongiosum leiomyoma.…”

“…Literature review revealed less than 10 cases reported so far. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] None of them revealing description of the scintigraphic findings on FDG PET/CT of a corpus spongiosum leiomyoma. Although a benign neoplasm, high FDG uptake that can mimic malignancy has also been reported in leiomyomas in other anatomical sites such as uterine, nasal, tracheal, esophageal, and rectal leiomyomas.…”
