Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare. This is a case report of 58 year old man presenting with clinical impression of large right sided inguinal hernia mass. Histology revealed liposarcoma of the seminal cord. Introduction The liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare condition, representing about 7% of paratesticular sarcomas[1]. Case A 58 year old patient presented with the clinical impression of a right-sided inguinal hernia. He reported gradual enlargement of this painless scrotal mass during the previous three years. Clinical examination revealed a painless scrotal mass adjacent to the external inguinal ring but separated from the normal testis and epididymis was palpated. Ultrasound examination of this scrotal mass was hyperechogenic and inhomogeneous and separated from the testis and epididymis, which showed no pathological finding. During surgery a lipomatous mass was found, that could not be separated from the right seminal cord. Frozen section revealed a malignant tumour. Wide excision and radical orchectomy were performed. The weight of the mass was 546 g. This mass had a bunch of grape appearance and consisted of several masses of various sizes surrounding the spermatic cord, and could be separated from the right epididymis and testis. Histological examination revealed well differentiated liposarcoma and lipoma so no further procedures done and patient followed up in 6 months showed no further recurrences or progression of tumor.
