A rare epididymal mass: Leiomyoma

Year 2014, Volume: 39 Issue: 2, 399 - 402, 22.07.2014

Abstract

Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor. It rarely rises from epididymal structures and usually is encountred in adults. The patient, who had undergone total epididymectomy for right scrotal mass at another center, was diagnosed with Epididymal Leiomyoma. He was admitted to our clinic for further evaluation and follow up. The previous eididymectomy specimens obtained and refered to our pathology department for confirmation of diagnosis. Microscopy revealed a benign neoplastic lesion, consisting of spindle cells. Which form interlacing bundels.Mitotic figures and tumor necrosis was not. Observed. The previous diagnosis is confirmed as the tumor showed immunohistochemical smooth muscule actin and Desmin posivity Whereas S-100 was not expressed with in the tumoral cells. This case report also overviews epididymal leiomyoma with recent literature findings.

Epididimde Nadir Rastlanan Kitle: Leiomyom

Year 2014, Volume: 39 Issue: 2, 399 - 402, 22.07.2014

Abstract

Leiomyom benign düz kas tümörüdür. Epididimde oldukça nadir görülür. Sıklıkla erişkin yaşlarda izlenir. Sağ skrotal kitle nedeniyle dış merkezde total epididimektomi operasyonu uygulanan hastanınpostoperatif patolojik inceleme sonucu leiomyoma gelmiş. Hasta, takiplerinin yapılması için bölümümüze başvurdu. Hastanın tanısının doğrulanması amacı ile preparatları istenerek patoloji bölümüne refere edildi. Mikroskopik incelemede, birbiri ile kesişip çaprazlaşan demetler oluşturan iğsi hücrelerden oluşmuş, mitoz ve nekroz içermeyen benign neoplastik yapı görüldü. İmmünohistokimyasal olarak düz kas aktini ve Desmin tümör hücrelerinde pozitif, S-100 negatif sonuç verdi. Hastanın patolojik tanısı doğrulandı. Bu olgu nedeniyle epididimal leiomyomalar literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı
