Spermatic cord leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are rare tumors which may cause significant morbidity and mortality if inadequately diagnosed or treated. We report a case of a paratesticular LMS in a 60-year-old man who presented with a right scrotal mass. The patient was evaluated by scrotal ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (including scans of the scrotum), which revealed a large extratesticular mass. The lesion proved to be malignant and the patient underwent radical orchiectomy with high cord ligation. To improve the assignment of this lesion, we further analyze the imaging features of LMS and correlate them with pathologic findings.
精索平滑肌肉瘤(LMS)是一种罕见的肿瘤,如果诊断或治疗不当,可能会导致严重的发病率和死亡率。我们报告一例60岁男性的睾丸旁LMS病例,该患者表现为右侧阴囊肿块。通过阴囊超声以及腹部和盆腔计算机断层扫描(包括阴囊扫描)对患者进行评估,结果显示一个巨大的睾丸外肿块。该病变被证实为恶性,患者接受了根治性睾丸切除术及高位精索结扎术。为了更好地对该病变进行诊断,我们进一步分析了LMS的影像学特征,并将其与病理结果相关联。
