Abstract

We report an unusual case of a leiomyoma of the vas deferens. A 69-year-old male patient was presented with a slowly progressive swelling of five years' duration in the right groin. Total excision of the right inguinal mass was performed with preservation of the right testis. The patient returned home one day later with no further problems, and he was well on his postoperative control. Inguinal exploration of suspicious inguinal masses is required to confirm the benign nature of the tumor. Benign masses of spermatic cord might be excised with preservation of the testis.
