“…According to the literature, spermatic cord DDLs originate in the distal and middle portions of the cord. DDLs with ossification located in the retroperitoneum are rarely reported, and there are no reports of spermatic cord DDL with macroscopic ossification, similar to that in the present case. Due to its rarity, the clinical role of ossification within DDL remains unknown.…”

“…Liposarcomas are located most commonly in the lower extremities or the retroperitoneum, but spermatic cord liposarcoma is rare. Few cases of spermatic cord DDL have been published in the literature, and there are no reports on spermatic cord DDL with macroscopic ossification . The available literature states that the preferred treatment for spermatic cord liposarcoma is surgical resection using orchiectomy with high cord ligation for tumors with negative surgical margins .…”

Introduction Liposarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of the adipose tissue, and dedifferentiated liposarcoma is a relatively rare subtype. Liposarcomas are typically located in the lower extremities or retroperitoneum, but dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare and no case of it with macroscopic ossification has been reported in the literature. Case presentation A male presented to our hospital with a painful, palpable, and hard left suprapubic mass, formed over 3 months. The mass was diagnosed as a spermatic cord tumor and was resected using high orchiectomy. Due to the histological diagnosis of dedifferentiated spermatic cord liposarcoma with ossification and positive margins, a second extended resection and adjuvant radiotherapy were performed. Conclusion To differentiate spermatic cord liposarcoma preoperatively is difficult. There is no gold standard treatment for it, although surgical complete resection with clear microscopic margins would be the most effective treatment.

“…Leiomyosarcoma (32%), rhabdomyosarcoma (24%) and liposarcoma (20%) are the most common sarcoma subtypes (7). Liposarcomas are histologically well divided into four groups as differential, dedifferentiated, myxoid round-cell and pleomorphic liposarcoma (8). Approximately 50% of paratesticular liposarcoma cases are well differentiated liposarcoma.…”

“…In addition, high grade pleomorphic sarcoma, pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, pleomorphic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and malignant fibrous histiocytoma should be evaluated separately (8,9). Histologically pleomorphic liposarcoma is diagnosed by demonstrating pleomorphic lipoblasts in hematoxylin eosin (HE) sections.…”

Genitourinary system sarcomas constitute 1-2% of all urological tumors. Paratesticular liposarcoma a very rare tumor accounts for 3-7% of paratesticular sarcomas. In this article, we presented a 67 year-old patient with a painless mass-swelling in the left testicular region for about 1 year. Imaging findings revealed a large heterogeneous mass in the left scrotal sac observed with a lobulated contour and hyperechogenic areas, approximately 74x34 mm in size, no test planes with testis, epididymis and spermatic cord. The mass was treated with orchiectomy. Histopathological evaluation of the tumor was reported as pleomorphic liposarcoma with paratesticular placement. We decided to present a rare case with ultrasonography (US) and Doppler US findings.
