Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms that originate from smooth muscle cells. Leiomyoma of the testis is exceedlingly rare. We present a case demonstrating a 1.3 cm hypoehoic mass of the left testis but with significant enhancement on contrast-enhanced scrotal ultrasonography concerning for a malignant neoplasm in a 33-year-old Hispanic male. However, his final pathology revealed a benign disease, specifically intratesticular leiomyoma. We discuss the role of contrast-enhanced scrotal ultrasound in this disease process.
平滑肌瘤是起源于平滑肌细胞的良性间叶性肿瘤。睾丸平滑肌瘤极为罕见。我们报告一例病例，一名33岁西班牙裔男性，其左侧睾丸有一个1.3厘米的低回声肿块，但阴囊超声造影显示有明显增强，怀疑为恶性肿瘤。然而，他的最终病理结果显示为良性疾病，具体为睾丸内平滑肌瘤。我们讨论了阴囊超声造影在该疾病过程中的作用。
