Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy has led to a diagnostic delay of several malignancies and the impact of this delay has likely been underestimated. Paratesticular leiomyosarcoma represents a very rare subtype of sarcoma. Here we describe a 57-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with dyspnea and a voluminous mass in the right paratesticular region. At the appearance of the scrotal mass 9 months prior, he had refused to undergo a urological evaluation due to fear of contracting COVID-19. We present this case for its histological rarity and to document a case of diagnostic and therapeutic delay during the pandemic in Lombardy.Keywords: COVID-19, leiomyosarcoma, mass of the testis, diagnostic delay, pandemic Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Subject The topic of the resource covid-19, Pandemic, diagnostic delay, leiomyosarcoma, mass of the testis Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Biotemas Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Diseases of the genitourinary system.
