This case report describes a 73-year-old male presenting with a six-year history of scrotal swelling, which was diagnosed as primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma following radical orchiectomy. Radiological examinations identified multiple metastases in the lungs and para-aortic lymph nodes, representing the first reported instance of this rare tumor with such widespread dissemination. The authors note that only nine prior cases of adult intratesticular leiomyosarcoma had been documented in the literature up to this point. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

This report presents a case of primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma. A 73-year-old male presented with a 6-year history of left scrotal swelling. A radiological examination revealed a left testicular tumour with multiple metastases in the lung, para-aortic lymph node and other organs. A radical orchiectomy was carried out and the pathology revealed an intratesticular leiomyosarcoma. The patient received additional chemotherapy. Cases of primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma are rare. This is, to the best of our knowledge, only the tenth case of leiomyisaocoma in an adult reported in the literature, and the first case involving multiple metastases.
