BMJ Case Rep. 2022 Mar 9;15(3):e248423. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2021-248423.

Abstract

Leiomyomas of the paratesticular region are a rare entity. A subtype of leiomyomas called bizarre nuclei leiomyoma is even rarer and histologically present some interesting features that are important to recognise to make the differential diagnosis with its malignant counterpart-leiomyosarcoma. We present a case of a man in his 60s, who presented with a painless mass on the right testicle. The clinical diagnosis was of an epidermoid cyst. The mass was excised and a diagnosis of leiomyoma of bizarre nuclei was made.

Keywords: pathology; urology.
