ABSTRACT
Leiomiosarcoma is a malignant paratesticular tumor with a greater incidence from the sixth
decade of life, although cases from the fourth decade are described. They suppose 5% of all
sarcomas and 2% of all the urological tumours. The origin of this type of tumors is not
known, but it is speculated with the possibility of a degeneration role of a previous
leiomyoma, originated from funicular structures of smooth muscle, that it can be located in
cremasteric muscular fibers, in the deferens, funicular vessel, even in vestigial rest of the
scrotal wall muscles, from conjuntive fibers of processus vaginalis or mesoblastic rest caught
in the funicular cord. A case of 37 years patient appears with diagnosis of paratesticular
leiomiosarcoma associated to testicular microlithiasis.
