Abstract

Leiomyomas are benign tumors arising from smooth muscle cells myometrium being most common site of origin. Capsule of kidney is most common site of origin in male Genito urinary system. Testicular parenchyma is an extremely rare site where tumor presents as a painless, slowly growing mass. It is very difficult to diagnose this lesion preoperatively as ultrasound features are nonspecific. Microscopic evaluation only renders an exact diagnosis. Intraoperative frozen section biopsy followed by local excision is the current treatment of choice but if not available radical orchidectomy would be done. We report case of intratesticular leiomyoma in a 32-year-old Ethiopian patient.
