Tumors of the epididymis are considered relatively rare. In Japan, including our case, 99 cases of tumor of the epididymis could be collected from literature, of which 65 cases (65.7 %) were benign and 34 cases (34.3 %) malignant. Among 99 cases, adenomatoid tumor showed the highest incidence (36 cases, 36.3 %) followed by leiomyoma (21 cases, 2l.1 %). In this paper, a case of leiomyoma of the epididymis in a 49-year-old man was reported. Epididymectomy was performed because a tumor was seen at the tail of the epididymis. The tumor measured 3.0×3.2×2.5cm in diameter. Pathohistological study showed mostly fibers of smooth muscle without any infiammatory findings.
