“…However, the optimal approach may vary based on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. Longterm follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence and assess the overall prognosis [3].…”

Leiomyomas, originating from smooth muscle cells, are common in the uterus but rare in the scrotum, presenting a clinical challenge. Scrotal leiomyomas, first described in the 19th century, are characterized by benign pathology from the subcutaneous dartos muscle. We present two cases of middle-aged males with scrotal leiomyomas, detailing clinical presentations, histopathological findings, and immunohistochemistry results. The first involved a 48-year-old with a painless scrotal lump, excised to reveal well-circumscribed smooth muscle bundles. Immunohistochemistry confirmed vimentin, desmin, and smooth muscle actin (SMA) positivity, consistent with scrotal leiomyoma. The second case featured a 25-year-old with a painless scrotal swelling, histologically matching the features of scrotal leiomyoma. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for guiding appropriate management strategies. Clinicians often employ a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and histopathological examination to confirm the presence of scrotal leiomyomas. Ultrasound remains a valuable tool for assessing the size, location, and vascularity of the tumor, aiding in the formulation of a differential diagnosis. Definitive diagnosis, however, relies on histological examination, which typically reveals spindle-shaped smooth muscle cells arranged in interlacing bundles.

“…Historically, scrotal leiomyomas were first described by Foster in 1858, with subsequent reports by Stout in 1937 and Seigal and Gaffey in 1964, who documented cases between 1905 and 1975 from Mayo Clinic records [3].…”

Introduction: Scrotal leiomyoma is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm that originates from smooth muscles. Up to now, the exact tumor properties remain unclear. Case: A 53-year-old male presented with intermittent mild pain and constant heaviness in the right scrotum for 1 year. The physical examination revealed a 6.5 cm by 5.5 cm by 5.5 cm sized, firm, mobile and non-tender lump within the inferior right scrotum. The ultrasound examination revealed a well-circumscribed and heterogenous hypoechoic tumor. MR imaging showed isointense on T1- weighted images, hypointense on T2-weighted images, and mild enhancement on post-contrast sequences. Then, he received simple tumor excision and further pathological examination demonstrated the diagnosis of typical leiomyoma. Conclusion: A full understanding of these rare tumor properties is the key to administering optimal treatment.
