Abstract

Leiomyomas are rare, slow growing benign tumors originating from smooth muscle cells which can involve any region of the body. The presentation of leiomyoma in paratesticular region is very rare. Ultrasound imaging is variable and not specific in paratesticular pathologies. The treatment modality for paratesticular leiomyoma is simple excision, eliminating the need for orchiectomy. Here we present a case of paratesticular leiomyoma which presented with symptoms mimicking inguinal hernia.
