A rare case report of paratesticular leiomyosarcoma

A leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of soft tissue that rarely presents in the scrotal region. This case report describes a primary paratesticular LMS originating in the dartos layer of the scrotum in a symptomatic 37-year-old male with a history of hypertension, generalized seizure disorder post-excision of meningioma, and an extensive family history of cancer. Primary paratesticular LMSs in the superficial dartos layer are exceedingly rare. Given the rarity of this particular type of LMS, this case report includes a discussion on its prevalence and incidence. The rarity of this tumor also warrants a review of the literature and related cases to inform the treatment plan and enhance understanding of these oncologic conditions.

Abstract

A leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of soft tissue that rarely presents in the scrotal region. This case report describes a primary paratesticular LMS originating in the dartos layer of the scrotum in a symptomatic 37-year-old male with a history of hypertension, generalized seizure disorder post-excision of meningioma, and an extensive family history of cancer. Primary paratesticular LMSs in the superficial dartos layer are exceedingly rare. Given the rarity of this particular type of LMS, this case report includes a discussion on its prevalence and incidence. The rarity of this tumor also warrants a review of the literature and related cases to inform the treatment plan and enhance understanding of these oncologic conditions.
