Liposarcoma of the Spermatic Cord Presenting as an Indirect Inguinal Hernia

Abstract

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare condition with a limited number of published reports in literature. These tumors are mostly diagnostic dilemmas where they are mistaken for other inguinoscrotal masses preoperatively and are only accurately diagnosed after surgery. This case report presents a liposarcoma initially mimicking an indirect inguinal hernia on presentation and a definitive diagnosis was confirmed via histopathologic examination. A literature review of other cases that have been previously reported is also presented.
