OBJECTIVE: To report an additional case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. METHODS: A 69-year-old male presented with an indolent left inguinal mass that he had noted one month earlier and had gradually increased in size. Two irregular mobile nodular left inguinal lesions were detected on physical examination. Analytical tests were normal. An ultrasound showed three nodular lesions in the left spermatic cord. CT attenuation values indicated predominantly fat tissue in the lesion. The patient underwent a radical left orchidectomy and funiculectomy. RESULTS: The histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen showed a well-differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. CONCLUSIONS: Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is uncommon. Some imaging techniques are useful in making the diagnosis. Like other authors, we believe that orchifuniculectomy is the treatment of choice in these patients.
