Role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Diagnosing Paratesticular Leiomyoma

Abstract

Sarin Karishma, Gupta Neelam and Singh Karanbir

Leiomyomas are benign neoplasms with smooth muscle differentiation. Paratesticular leiomyomas are extremely uncommon. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) serves as a rapid, safe and conclusive diagnostic tool which prevents unnecessary surgical interventions. We report a rare case of paratesticular leiomyoma, in an asymptomatic 40-year old male diagnosed on cytomorphology. This was further confirmed on histopathological examination (HPE) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). This case emphasizes the role of FNAC in providing a definitive diagnosis.
