Leiomyomas are benign, slow-growing, smooth muscle tumors, which can occur at many locations in the body. The male genitourinary tract is seldom affected and scrotal leiomyomas are extremely rare. Most of the scrotal leiomyomas are localized in the testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, subcutaneous tissue, tunica albuginea, and scrotal skin and only a few of them are reported in the origin of isolated tissue without paratesticular structures in the paratesticular region. We are presenting a case of solitary paratesticular leiomyoma in a child, which is very rare in terms of lesion location and patient age, and describing the imaging features of this lesion.
平滑肌瘤是一种良性、生长缓慢的平滑肌肿瘤,可发生于身体的许多部位。男性泌尿生殖道很少受累,阴囊平滑肌瘤极为罕见。大多数阴囊平滑肌瘤位于睾丸、附睾、精索、皮下组织、白膜和阴囊皮肤,只有少数报道发生于睾丸旁区域孤立组织的起源处,而无睾丸旁结构。我们报告一例儿童孤立性睾丸旁平滑肌瘤病例,就病变位置和患者年龄而言非常罕见,并描述该病变的影像学特征。
