Primitive Testicular Leiomyosarcoma

Abstract

Primary testicular leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumor with only few cases described in literature. In young people this rare tumor seems to be related to radiotherapy and anabolic steroids abuse. In older people there are apparently no risk factors. We describe one further case in a 77-years old man with full histological and ultrastructural evaluation. A short term follow-up of one year signals no recurrence of the disease.

Cytogenetic Findings of an Undifferentiated Testicular Sarcoma

“…To our knowledge, 40 cases had been reported, including 15 lieomyosarcomas [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], seven rhabdomyosarcomas [25][26][27][28][29][30], five spindle sarcomas [31][32][33][34], four osteosarcomas [35][36][37][38], two fibrosarcomas [36,39], two pleomorphicsarcomas [33], two liposarcomas [33,40], one chondrosarcoma [3], one kaposi sarcoma [41] and one undifferentiated sarcoma [13].…”

Testis and Paratesticular Lesions

“…Rare paratesticular leiomyosarcoma are of pleomorphic, myxoid, epithelioid, inflammatory, and dedifferentiated types. References: [121][122][123][124][125] How Is Paratesticular Rhabdomyosarcoma Differentiated from Leiomyosarcoma?…”

Primary low grade intratesticular leiomyosarcoma: case report and review of the literature

“…Approximately one hundred paratesticular leiomyosarcomas have been reported in the literature (1). Primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma is even more rare with only 18 cases known so far (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Herein, we would like to document an additional case of primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma with its clinical and pathological features.…”
