Description
Mohannad N AbuHaweeleh and Salvatore Rabito present a 2026 case report of a rare benign tumor beside the testicle in a 49-year-old motocross athlete. Such tumors, called paratesticular leiomyomas, grow from smooth muscle near the testicle and are usually slow and painless. He arrived with progressive scrotal enlargement causing discomfort, and exam found a large encapsulated mass pushing the testes aside.
Scans showed a large mixed lesion with new blood vessel growth. Surgeons removed the mass and reshaped the scrotum, sparing the testicle. Tissue tests showed benign spindle cells, a low growth marker, and stains supporting smooth muscle origin. Recognition of this tumor type supports testis-sparing surgery and strong outcomes without long surveillance, the authors say.
