Published: December 2024

Introduction And Importance: Scrotal Leiomyoma is a benign and rare mesenchymal tumor that grows slowly. It was reported for the first time in 1858 by Forster. The Patients with Scrotal Leiomyoma is an asymptomatic painless mass.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 45-year-old man, who presented with a painless scrotal mass to our hospital. On physical examination, he had a single, firm, and mobile mass about 2-3 cm in diameter within the right scrotum without tenderness. The left side was normal. Pre-operative scrotal sonography, a 2.5 cm hypoechoic extra testicular mass with sharp borders was reported. Intraoperatively The mass was excised totally and the testis was preserved. On microscopic examination revealed interlacing bundles of spindle-shaped cells with no mitotic figures or nuclear pleomorphism. On immunohistochemical analysis, the spindle cells were positive for SMA and negative for S100, and leiomyoma was confirmed.

Clinical Discussion: For diagnosing leiomyoma, scrotal ultrasound is a first-line and noninvasive method that is confirmed by histologic examination. In histology, smooth muscle bundles are seen. Immunohistochemistry studies can confirm the diagnosis by identifying specific markers like vimentin, desmin, and smooth muscle actin. It is important to differentiate leiomyoma from a malignant type known as leiomyosarcoma.

Conclusion: We report a rare case presentation of a 45-year-old man with scrotal leiomyoma that is confirmed by histology. It is important to differentiate leiomyoma from malignant course.

In this case study, we describe a 46-year-old male presenting with a palpable, gradually enlarging scrotal mass persisting over three to four years, ultimately diagnosed as paratesticular leiomyoma, who underwent enucleation of the tumor with no signs of recurrence, two years after surgery. This report underscores the significance of accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment. We also emphasize the sequential events and findings, supported by relevant literature review, that contributed to establishing the correct diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment decisions.

Histopathological changes in testicular lesions in cats.

Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study examined testicular lesions in cats in Hong Kong from 2018 to 2024, focusing on both neoplastic (tumor-related) and non-neoplastic (non-tumor-related) findings.
  • - Out of 26 testis samples from 18 cats, non-neoplastic lesions were more common, especially inflammation and conditions like cryptorchidism, while neoplastic lesions were found in three older cats, including Sertoli cell tumor, leiomyoma, and fibrosarcoma.
  • - The research highlights that non-neoplastic lesions are prevalent and identifies new instances of leiomyoma and fibrosarcoma in cats’ testes, suggesting the need for awareness about these possible conditions.

We present a case report of a 55-year-old male patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and a large neoplastic mass in the abdomen. The patient presented with an abdominal mass and discomfort, along with a bilateral empty scrotum since birth. A diagnostic workup revealed the mass to be a uterine leiomyoma associated with CAH, a simple virilizing type.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare, benign smooth muscle tumors, with nipple leiomyomas being the least common and often found in middle-aged women.
  • The case study describes a 40-year-old woman who had a 1cm growth on her right nipple for six months, which was excised and examined.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed a diagnosis of nipple leiomyoma, highlighting the importance of biopsy and immunohistochemistry for accurate diagnosis and effective patient management.
