Key result
Orchidectomy yields no recurrence or metastasis at 12 months in a spermatic cord liposarcoma case.
Why the study?
Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are extremely rare, with fewer than 200 cases reported in the literature.

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare condition that can mimic an inguinal hernia on pre-operative ultrasound.
Single-case success after orchiectomy in spermatic cord liposarcoma; hypothesis-generating and requires larger series before guiding practice.
Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are extremely rare, with less than 200 cases in the literature. We present a case of sclerosing mixed with myxoid liposarcoma of the left spermatic cord in a 55-year-old male patient, mimicking an inguinal hernia on pre-operative ultrasound. The patient underwent orchidectomy and is currently on follow-up surveillance with no signs of recurrence.

Pikramenos et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord (n=1). Left orchidectomy with excision of the left spermatic cord was evaluated on Local recurrence or metastatic disease. Left orchidectomy with excision of the spermatic cord resulted in no signs of local recurrence or metastatic disease at 12 months follow-up in a patient with spermatic cord liposarcoma.
