Leiomyosarcome Du Cordon Spermatique

Abstract

Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumor, develops from the mesenchymal tissues of the spermatic cord, epididymis and  testicular tunics. Its incidence is 0.05 to 0.1% and the occurrence in the testis is rare. In the literature, the testicular leiomyosarcoma (LST) is reported as sporadic cases or as a very limited series. In adults, most testicular sarcomas are the result of a sarcomatous transformation of germ cell tumors (GCT) especially teratomas and spermatocytic sarcomas.
Observation: We report on a pure paratesticular leiomyosarcoma and we present the histological, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of this rare tumor.
