Bizarre leiomyomas of the scrotum are rare benign tumors that are often misdiagnosed. In this study, we present a case of bizarre leiomyoma of the scrotum in a 53-year-old male. The patient presented with a painless scrotal mass that was insidious in the right side of the scrotum with no sudden increase in size. Definitive preoperative diagnosis could not be established; however, following surgical resection of the tumor, a diagnosis of bizarre leiomyoma of the scrotum was determined by pathological examination. The patient was followed up six months following resection and no problems were reported. This is the first reported case of bizarre leiomyoma of the scrotum in China. A supplementary review of previously published cases and literature is also presented.

Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei (LM-BN) is a rare variant of leiomyoma with a benign clinical course. In contrast, leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a high-grade, malignant neoplasm characterized by high recurrence rates and poor survival. While LM-BN and LMS show distinct morphologies, they share similar immunoprofiles and molecular alterations, with both considered 'genomically unstable'.

Article Synopsis
- Leiomyomas are non-cancerous tumors of the uterine smooth muscle that can have various forms and are known to undergo secondary changes, sometimes resembling more serious conditions.
- A rare type called cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) can appear as large, abnormal masses, leading to misdiagnosis as cancer due to its size and complexity.
- The article includes a case study of a 65-year-old woman with CDL, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare professionals to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatments.

Introduction Detection of gynecological cancers preoperatively is imperative for practitioners for optimal patient management and outcome. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of unexpected malignancy (UM) in patients who underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy for presumed benign indications and to detect the predictive factors of UM. Methods A retrospective analytical study that included patients who underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy for benign indications from January 1st, 2016, to December 31st, 2020, was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain.

The occurrence of fumarate hydratase-deficient leiomyoma of the abdominal wall is exceptionally rare. A 50-year-old female patient with a past medical history of fumarate hydratase-deficient uterine leiomyoma presented with a left lower quadrant abdominal mass that has been present for the past 2 years. An ultrasound revealed a 3.
