Abstract:

We report a case of giant spermatic cord liposarcoma in an 80 year old patient, initially treated as an inguinal hernia due to a large left inguinoscrotal mass. Spermatic cord liposarcoma is a rare tumor, and only some 200 cases have been reported in the literature. About 20% of liposarcomas are retroperitoneal, involving only 0.1% of the inguinal mass, typically confused with inguinal hernia. We treated the patient with organ sparing surgery, preserving the testicle, without chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Follow-up for six months showed good response, without recurrence or metastasis.

Keywords:
