Cureus. 2022 Aug 22;14(8):e28269. doi: 10.7759/cureus.28269. eCollection 2022 Aug.

Abstract

Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are extremely rare, with less than 200 cases in the literature. We present a case of sclerosing mixed with myxoid liposarcoma of the left spermatic cord in a 55-year-old male patient, mimicking an inguinal hernia on pre-operative ultrasound. The patient underwent orchidectomy and is currently on follow-up surveillance with no signs of recurrence.

Keywords: liposarcoma; myxoid liposarcoma; orchidectomy; para-testicular tumor; sclerosing liposarcoma.
