Abstract
-
Leiomyoma is an uncommon lesion which may originate anywhere including the genitourinary system where smooth muscle is present. Five cases of leiomyoma of the testicular tunica albuginea were reported in the world literature. A case of leiomyoma of testicular tunica albuginea in a 58 year old male is presented. We preserved the testis with tumor resection. This is the first report of leiomyoma of testicular tunica albuginea in Korea.
