ABSTRACT
A rare case of an epididymal leiomyoma in a 62-year-old man is reported. A physical examination revealed a hard, non-tender, 2cm sized round mass located in the tail of the right epididymis. Scrotal ultrasonography showed a 2.1x2cm sized, well defined round inhomogeneous mass within the tail of the right epididymis. A right epididymectomy was performed. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgical excision and subsequent histological analysis.

During the past three decades, several reports have suggested that the quality of semen in men is declining. The chance of exposure to environmental toxin tends to increase but most of gonadotoxic agents are not clearly known. We report five patients with secondary transient or permanent reduction of sperm numbers. The possible causes are discussed.
