Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the testis is a rare entity with only less than 20 cases were reported. The standard therapy is difficult to recommend because of the rarity of this tumor.
Case Report: We reported a case of primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma in a 78-year-old male with unremarkable past medical history. The patient was presented within isolated testicular enlargement. Ultrasound revealed a large solid, homogenous and hyper echoic mass of the right testicle. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was elevated, however, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) were within normal limits. A right radical orchidectomy was performed. The diagnosis of primary leiomyosarcoma of testis was confirmed by histopathology. Conclusion: The primary leiomyosarcoma of testis is a rare diagnosis which should be one of the differential diagnoses of testicular mass with normal tumor markers. | |
