Abstract

Background: Liposarcoma (LPS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor that mostly occurs in the extremities and retroperitoneum and rarely in the scrotum.

Case presentation: In this case report, we introduced a patient who was diagnosed with LPS in the scrotum. In his right scrotum, we found a large soft tissue mass, including fat and calcification.

Conclusion: We reviewed the clinical, pathological and computed tomography (CT) features of patients diagnosed with LPS of the scrotum to help improve the understanding of the disease and the accuracy of diagnosis.

Keywords: Liposarcoma (LPS); computed tomography (CT); giant; scrotum.
