Radical resection with left orchiectomy successfully treated a 55-year-old man with a spermatic cord liposarcoma that initially mimicked a recurrent incarcerated inguinal hernia.
Case Report (n=1)
Spermatic cord liposarcoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis for inguinoscrotal masses, requiring radical resection with negative margins.
ABSTRACT Spermatic cord liposarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm often misdiagnosed as benign conditions. This similarity may lead to inadequate surgical approaches. A 55-year-old man with a prior history of inguinal hernioplasty presented with an incarcerated scrotal mass. The initial hypothesis of recurrent hernia was ruled out after negative surgical exploration. Imaging suggested a lipomatous lesion, and a resection with left orchiectomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed liposarcoma. Spermatic cord liposarcoma is a differential diagnosis of inguinoscrotal masses. Radical resection with negative margins is the gold standard treatment. Long-term surveillance is mandatory due to the risk of recurrence.
Ferreira et al. (Mon,) conducted a case report in Spermatic cord liposarcoma (n=1). Resection with left orchiectomy was evaluated on Histopathological confirmation of liposarcoma. Radical resection with left orchiectomy successfully treated a 55-year-old man with a spermatic cord liposarcoma that initially mimicked a recurrent incarcerated inguinal hernia.
