Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumours of smooth muscle origin. They can arise anywhere in the body where smooth muscle is present. Superficial leiomyomas are categorised into three types based on their site of origin: piloleiomyoma arising from arrector pili, scrotal arising from dartos, and angioleiomyoma arising from smooth muscles of blood vessels. Scrotal leiomyomas are rare tumour, and very few cases are reported in literature so far. We report a case of scrotal leiomyoma clinically diagnosed as epidermal cyst. © Indian Association of Surgical Oncology 2021.Entities:
