summary

We describe a rare case of a 79 years old man with a leiomyoma of the glans penis. A report presents a giant 40 mm cauliflowered solid mass with a painless superior of the corona glandis. The lesion was excised and histological examination revealed a leiomyoma. The immuno-histo-chemical analysis confirmed the pathologic diagnosis. A complete excision and histological examination is the most reliable means of distinguishing leiomyoma from other tumors of the penis.
