Giant Paratesticular Liposarcoma

Abstract

Introduction Liposarcomas are lesions originated in the mesodermal tissue, paratesticular location is very rare. It is divided into 4 histological subtypes, being the most uncommon the myxoid. It has a recurrence of 70%, so the treatment should be aggressive. Objective to emphasize the large size and the differential diagnosis of inguinoescrotal mass. Case Presentation 87-year-old male patient with right inguinoescrotal pain with diagnosis of unilateral inguinal hernia, right inguinal orchiectomy is performed. A surgical specimen of 2440 g is received in pathology. Histological study shows malignant mesenchymal tumor lesion, surrounded by prominent myxoid nodular stroma. Myxoid liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is diagnosed. (Fig. 2). Conclusions they are rare neoplasms and are poorly diagnosed as inguinal hernia, scrotal or lipoma of the spermal cord. It has a high risk of metastasis, the ideal surgical management is an inguinal orchiectomy with resection of the spermatic cord.
