Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms totally accounting for 8% of all soft tissue tumors. In contrast to the benign variant of leiomyoma they are considered as malignant cancers. Taking origin from smooth muscle, they may differently involve many organs but rarely affect spermatic cord or scrotum. Their clinical behavior is highly unpredictable and data in literature are sometimes controversial: to date surgery represents the best option. We report the case of a voluminous recurrent contralateral leiomyosarcoma of the scrotum.

Abstract
Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms totally accounting for 8% of all soft tissue tumors. In contrast to the benign variant of leiomyoma they are considered as malignant cancers. Taking origin from smooth muscle, they may differently involve many organs but rarely affect spermatic cord or scrotum. Their clinical behavior is highly unpredictable and data in literature are sometimes controversial: to date surgery represents the best option. We report the case of a voluminous recurrent contralateral leiomyosarcoma of the scrotum.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
