Although leiomyosarcoma is common, its epididymal localization is quite rare.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 79-year-old male Chinese Han patient presented with mild pain in the right groin and scrotum for 3\u00a0years concomitant with right scrotal swelling. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum showed a irregular and heterogeneous mass that was extratesticular. Right high orchiectomy was performed, and pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma of the epididymis with surgical margins clear of tumor.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Epididymal leiomyosarcoma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The final diagnosis of epididymal leiomyosarcoma requires histologic examination. Resection must be extensive and complete. The effect of chemotherapy and radiation on the epididymal leiomyosarcoma remains unclear. Recurrence is common, so follow-up is necessary.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04660-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,21]],"date-time":"2024-07-21T00:01:53Z","timestamp":1721520113000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Primary leiomyosarcoma of epididymis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Hong-Jie","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yao-dong","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong-hai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"4660_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1149106","DOI":"10.3389\/fonc.2023.1149106","volume":"13","author":"K Lacuna","year":"2023","unstructured":"Lacuna K, Bose S, Ingham M, et\u00a0al.
