Resection with high inguinal ligation and orchiectomy for leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord resulted in the patient remaining untroubled for six months post-surgery.
Case Report (n=1)
Reports a rare case of leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord successfully treated with resection and orchiectomy.
Supports orchiectomy with high ligation for rare spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma; extends sparse case reports but leaves practice unchanged pending further data.
A case of leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord, occurring in a 79-year-old male patient, is reported. The tumor was resected with high inguinal ligation and orchiectomy. It was located at the scrotal part of the spermatic cord on the left side and was shown to have originated from the spermatic duct using the dissecting method. Histologically, it was identical to leiomyosarcoma showing a typical morphological appearance of smooth muscle cell tumor in the conventional histochemical preparations as well as a focal positive reaction to antidesmin antibody, a marked nuclear pleomorphism, and abundant mitotic figures. The patient had been untroubled for six months after the resection of the tumor. Leiomyosarcoma arising in spermatic cord is quite rare.

Kinjo et al. (1986) conducted a case report in Leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord (n=1). Resection with high inguinal ligation and orchiectomy was evaluated on Patient status post-resection. Resection with high inguinal ligation and orchiectomy for leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord resulted in the patient remaining untroubled for six months post-surgery.
