Bilateral Leiomyoma of the Tunica Albuginea

Abstract

A 64-year-old man presented with difficulty in passing urine. He was found to have two benign tumours, one in the lower pole of each testis, and a carcinoma of the prostate (all confirmed histologically). He was given no treatment initially but when his prostatic cancer showed signs of progression he underwent bilateral orchidectomy.

Benign scrotal tumours are relatively rare, and this might be the first case of bilateral leiomyoma in the tunica albuginea.

Key Words:

• scrotal tumour
• leiomyoma
• tunica albuginea
