Two cases of liposarcoma of spermatic cord
Liposarcomas are most commonly found in the extremities, in the retroperitoneum and, less often, in the head and neck area. The spermatic cord is a rare site of origin, accounting for about 3-7% of all liposarcomas. We report two cases of liposarcoma of spermatic cord. Case 1. A 69-year-old male presented with complaints of a painless left inguinal mass. MRI showed a huge fatty mass in the left inguinal region. The mass was removed with left testis and spermatic cord. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The surgical margin was positive, so re-resection was performed. Complete excision was achieved after re-resection. Case 2. A 63-year-old male with the difficulty urinating had a left scrotal mass. Left radical orchiectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma. These are the 84th and 85th cases of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord reported in Japan.
