Abstract

We report on a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a scrotal mass which he had noted two years earlier. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined, regular, paratesticular mass. Pathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed abundant lipoblasts and a stroma with myxoid changes, prompting a diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. Liposarcoma is a rare tumor of the spermatic cord which frequently metastasizes to the lumbar retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The foregoing characteristic and the histologic features of the tumor type influence treatment.
