Primary Leiomyosarcoma of the Testis

Abstract

We report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the testis, which was believed to originate from normal testicular structures containing smooth muscle cells, such as blood vessels and contractile cells of the seminiferous tubules. No evidence of tumor spread was found. Treatment consisted of orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord. The patient received no adjuvant therapy. There was no evidence of tumor after 2 years. The literature is reviewed and the therapeutic approach is discussed.

Cytogenetic Findings of an Undifferentiated Testicular Sarcoma

“…To our knowledge, 40 cases had been reported, including 15 lieomyosarcomas [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], seven rhabdomyosarcomas [25][26][27][28][29][30], five spindle sarcomas [31][32][33][34], four osteosarcomas [35][36][37][38], two fibrosarcomas [36,39], two pleomorphicsarcomas [33], two liposarcomas [33,40], one chondrosarcoma [3], one kaposi sarcoma [41] and one undifferentiated sarcoma [13].…”

Primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Only one case was reported in an infant. 9 The age of the patients ranged between 30 and 76, with a mean age of 50.2.…”

Primary Testicular Leiomyosracoma with Local Recurrence: a Case Report

“…None of which were associated in our case. LMS arise from the smooth muscle cells within the testis such as blood vessels, seminiferous tubules and tunica [8,9]. Primary LMS of the testis presents usually as a painless testicular mass as any other neoplasm of the testis and is managed similarly with inguinal orchidectomy [2,6].…”
