Malignant paratesticular and spermatic cord tumors are rare and often misdiagnosed preoperatively due to clinical presentations similar to other benign scrotal mass etiologies. Only a few cases regarding giant, paratesticular liposarcomas (>10 cm) have been reported. We report a unique case of an aggressive giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the scrotum with osteosarcoma features in a 70-year-old patient who initially presented with indolent scrotal swelling. A CT scan showed a large, complex, solid and cystic mass (12.0 x 15.5 x 19.0 cm) in the right scrotum. With a concern of a complex hydrocele, the patient was taken to the operating room for a scrotal approach to excise the hydrocele, but the spermatic cord was not traced to any discernible testicle as the entire mass was indurated and multilocular, and was excised. Pathology revealed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, with MDM2 amplification. The patient’s course was complicated due to metastatic disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
