Lipoblastoma-like tumor is a very rare mesenchymal tumor believed to be restricted to female patients and only recently reported in the spermatic cord of a male patient. We describe herein an additional case of lipoblastoma-like tumor occurring in the spermatic cord, describing its histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features.
