Malignant paratesticular tumors are uncommon. Of these, liposarcoma of the spermatic cord constitutes a rare tumor. Only a hundred cases have been reported. They are typically presented in elderly people. The usually have a good prognosis because of their low level of malignancy and their relapses tend to be localized. It has a high rate of survival over 5 years. Preoperative diagnosis is infrequent, it is suggested by the appearance of a progressively enlarging mass in the scrotum and the ultrasonography which shows a solid mass of the spermatic cord that is independent of the testicle. The choice treatment is radical orchidectomy, while long-term follow-up of these patients is mandatory because of local relapses. When local relapses become evident, the choice treatment is extensive local excision followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. In the present study we report a new case of a recurring, well differentiated spermatic cord liposarcoma of the type sclerotic, in a 50-year-old man. An exhaustive review of the literature has been made. |
