AI Article Synopsis
- Up to 30% of scrotal masses are sarcomas, with leiomyosarcoma of the scrotal wall being particularly rare and under-studied regarding its clinical impact and prognosis.
- A 45-year-old Caucasian man presented with a firm, mobile scrotal wall mass that was diagnosed as malignant leiomyosarcoma after surgical excision and further testing.
- The report emphasizes the tumor's morphological features, immunohistochemical characteristics, and provides insights from the patient's relatively long-term follow-up.
Article Abstract
Background: Up to 30% of all scrotal masses are sarcomas. Leiomyosarcoma of the scrotal wall is rare, and its clinical significance and prognosis have not been well defined, since the most reported cases have little or no follow-up.
Case Presentation: We report a 45-year-old Caucasian man who was admitted with a firm, nontender, mobile scrotal wall mass from 15 months ago. Laboratory data including testicular tumor markers were within normal range, and transscrotal ultrasonography revealed an oval-shaped, hypoechogenic, solid mass with blood flow and well-defined border. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry staining, following surgical excision, were in favor of malignant leiomyosarcoma.
Conclusion: Here we describe the morphological features and immunohistochemical presentations of the tumor and the patient's relatively long-term follow-up.
