Abstract:
A rare case of an epididymal leiomyoma in a 62-year-old man is reported. A physical examination revealed a hard, non-tender, 2cm sized round mass located in the tail of the right epididymis. Scrotal ultrasonography showed a 2.1x2cm sized, well defined round inhomogeneous mass within the tail of the right epididymis. A right epididymectomy was performed. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgical excision and subsequent histological analysis.
