Abstract

A case of well differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in a 80 year old man is presented. The preoperative diagnosis of spermatic cord liposarcoma is not easy; however, a careful comparison between clinical and ultrasonographic findings can lead to diagnostic suspicion. The treatment of choice is the excision of the liposarcoma associated with orchiectomy and high ligation of the spermatic cord to reduce the risk of recurrence. Postoperative radiotherapy may be indicated for poor differentiated liposarcomas.
