Paratesticular liposarcoma: a radiologic pathologic correlation

J Clin Imaging Sci. 2011:1:57. doi: 10.4103/2156-7514.90952. Epub 2011 Dec 17.

Abstract

Spermatic cord liposarcoma is an uncommon paratesticular tumor. Patients usually present with a painless scrotal or inguinal mass, mimicking inguinal hernia. Clinical examination suggested an inguinal hernia. Computed tomography demonstrated a fat-containing mass in the right inguinal region. The mass was surgically removed, along with the right testis and spermatic cord. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma. No evidence of recurrence or metastases has been noted during the two-year follow-up with postoperative adjuvant therapy.
