Leiomyosarcomas are uncommon soft tissue tumors which can arise anywhere in the body. Leiomyosarcomas of the scrotum belonging to the subcutaneous superficial group are rare and do not involve the testis, epididymis or spermatic cord. Immunohistochemistry is very important to diagnose and differentiate it from other spindle shaped lesions which may arise at this site. We present a case of scrotal mass in a 87 year old male which was diagnosed as leiomyosarcomas.

Paratesticularleiomyosarcomas are rare neoplasms. Radical orchidectomy and high ligation of cordfollowed by surveillance is the treatment of choice. Here we report a 73-year-old man who presentedwith a 2-year history of painless lump in the left hemiscrotum. A left radical orchiectomy with highligation of the spermatic cord was performed. The histo-pathological and immunohistochemistryevaluation revealed a moderately differentiated leiomyosarcoma of paratesticular region. Thepatient is still alive with no evidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis after seven years offollow-up._______________________________________________________________________________________Keywords: leiomyosarcoma; spermatic cord; paratesticular; surgical procedures.

“…Paratesticular leiomyosarcoma presents as a discrete nodular mass, which is completely separate from the testicle [2]. Although the etiology of leiomyosarcomas remains unclear, some authors have suggested local irradiation during childhood as a potential cause [6]. Clinically, most paratesticular leiomyosarcomas present as painless, slow-growing scrotal tumors in men of middle or older age.…”

A 50-year-old male patient presented with a right scrotal mass that had been growing rapidly for more than one year. A heterogeneous enhancing right scrotal mass (12×9 cm) with para-aortic and peri-caval lymphadenopathies was found on abdominal computed tomography (CT). Right orchiectomy was performed and the gross finding had shown intact testis with a well-defined, huge, whitish solid mass adjacent to the testis. According to pathology, the mass was characterized as a leiomyosarcoma, grade 3 (by National Cancer Instituted [NCI] system). Therefore, the diagnosis was stage III, grade 3 paratesticular leiomyosarcoma. The patient underwent additional systemic chemotherapy using ifosfamide and adriamycin. After nine cycles of chemotherapy, positron emission tomography-CT was performed and no FDP uptake was observed. The patient has been followed up for 12 months after systemic chemotherapy, and he has maintained a complete response. We report here on a rare case of paratesticular leiomyosarcoma treated successfully with orichiectomy and additional systemic chemotherapy.
