Liposarcoma of the Spermatic Cord

Abstract

We report a case of a 78-year-old man with liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. This rare tumour, which is slow growing and tends to recur locally, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of solid tumours between the testis and the internal ring. The surgical treatment is radical orchiectomy with wide local excision and high ligation of the spermatic cord. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is debatable and the value of chemo- and radiotherapy is uncertain.

Key Words:

• spermatic cord
