Abstract

Herein we present 82-year-old man with leiomyosarcoma arising from the spermatic cord with scalp metastasis, five years after primary surgical treatment. Complete surgical excision is required in such cases, as well as precise evaluation of further therapy. Paratesticular leiomyosarcoma is a rare entity, malignant mesenchimal tumor of smooth muscle differentiation. Although leiomyosarcomas of different localizations have well-known metastatic potential, cutaneous metastases are extremely rare with only 16 cases described in the literature. To our knowledge there are no reported cases of the paratesticular leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the skin. This article reviews the literature regarding paratesticular leiomyosarcoma presentation, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract in Croatian

Leiomiosarkom paratestikularnog tkiva je veoma rijedak maligni mezenhimalni tumor koji pokazuje glatkomišićnu diferencijaciju. Iako leiomiosarkomi različitih sijela imaju dobro poznatu sposobnost metastaziranja, kožne metastaze su izrazito rijetke, sa samo 16 opisanih slučajeva u literaturi. Do sada nije opisan nijedan slučaj metastaze leiomiosarkoma sjemenog snopa s metastazama u kožu. Donosimo opis 82-godišnjeg bolesnika s bezbolnom masom u lijevom hemiskrotumu, leiomiosarkom sjemenog snopa s metastatskom bolesti koja se manifestirala nakon pet godina kao kožni tumor te zatim i metastazama u pluća. U takvim slučajevima potrebno je potpuno kirurško odstranjenje tumorske mase te precizna procjena određivanja daljnje terapije. U ovom radu donosimo prikaz literaturnih navoda koji se bave opisanom problematikom prezentacije, dijagnoze i liječenja paratestikularnih leiomiosarkoma.
