Abstract

Leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumor, with 55 reported cases to date.(1) There are limited reports on the imaging findings, particularly the sonographic appearance of this rare tumor. We report the sonographic and histopathologic features of a case of spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma and discuss the role of sonography in demonstration and diagnosis of the mass.
