Primary epididymal tumors are relatively rare entity. Leiomyoma is the second most common benign epididymal tumor. Recently, we experienced a case of primary bilateral epididymal leiomyoma. A 50-year-old man presented with painless masses in both epididymal tails several years in duration. Solid tumors of both epididymal tails with undetermined characteristics were diagnosed. At surgery both masses were solid and smooth and were found to be well-demarcated. They were removed without difficulty. Pathology was bilateral epididymal leiomyoma. We also reviewed 55 cases of epididymal leiomyoma in the Japanese literature.

Leiomyoma of the epididymis is a benign tumor that is rarely diagnosed and is second only to epididymal adenomatoid lesions in frequency. A case of leiomyoma of the epididymis in a 62-year-old patient is described. The patient presented with a tumor in the tail of the left epididymis which was definitively diagnosed following surgical resection and subsequent anatomopathological analysis. The classification, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this tumor type are briefly discussed.

Leiomyoma is a relatively uncommon neoplasm of the epididymis derived from smooth muscle cells. A case of primary leiomyomas simultaneously occurring in both epididymides is reported in a 58-year-old man, clinically presenting painless intra-scrotal masses. The examination of the epididymis characterizes clinically by a firm solid, well-circumscribe mass, and histological spindle cells arranged in interlacing bundles with varying admixtures of fibrous and hyalinized connective tissue. Clinical, histopathologic and immunohistopathologic features, with briefly reviewed relevant literatures describing 7 cases of bilateral leiomyoma of epididymides are discussed. The patients with the mean age of 56.6 years (range 47-62 years) had epididymal mass measuring 5 to 75 millimeters (mean 21.3 millimeters). This is the first reported description of bilateral leiomyoma of epididymides in Thailand.
