Epididymal leiomyosarcoma is very uncommon. Only 16 cases have been reported in the literature. There has never been a reported case of a patient with an African origin with this tumor. We report the medical history of a 70-year-old man who presented an enormous mass located in his epididymis. A tricut biopsy was performed which allowed histological confirmation of epididymal leiomyosarcoma after which the patient underwent excision of the mass. The patient died after the first round of chemotherapy.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of epididymis

Primary leiomyosarcomas rarely arise from epididymis. But they are the most common histopathological types of sarcoma arising from the epididymis. Primary epididymal leiomyosarcoma occurs usually in older patients. We report a young patient of 35 years presenting with leiomyosarcoma of left epididymis. He did not have any metastasis and underwent left high inguinal orchiectomy. He is on regular follow-up and disease free for last two years.

Epidydimal leiomyosarcoma: a rare case of scrotal swelling

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sarcomas of the genitourinary tract are extremely uncommon and accounts for only 1-2% of genito urinary malignancies. Sarcomas of the para testicular region, comprising tissues such as the epididymis, spermatic cord, inguinal canal and testicular tunica are also extremely rare. epidydimal leiomyosarcoma accounted only for 4 percentage of all para testicular tumours and only 16 cases are reported so far in literature and they account 4% of all Para testicular sarcomas. We are presenting a 61-year-old patient presented with a hard welling of 1 year duration, with no other associated symptoms. On ultrasound evaluation, it was reported as extra testicular lesion, possibly from epididymal tail. We performed a high inguinal orchidectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a para testicular leiomyosarcoma arising from epididymis. This case has discussed because of the rarity of the disease and possible cure if diagnosed early and treated aggressively.
