Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Primary testicular leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are very rare tumours, with only 20 cases reported so far in the literature (Abdullazade et al. Turk Patoloji Derg 29:227–230, 2013; Komeya et al. Indian J Urol 28:343–346, 2012). We present a case of a 70-year-old male patient who presented with recurrence in the right hemiscrotum 10 weeks after right inguinal orchidectomy for a testicular mass which diagnosed as primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma. He was treated with wide local excision and adjuvant radiotherapy.
