“…Giant PLS is more rare with only a few cases having been reported (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). Due to the rarity of the disease, there is no standardized guideline as regards its incidence, diagnosis, recurrence and treatment (7,8). In this study, we present a case of a giant dedifferentiated PLS of the right testis with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measuring 7.8x5.8x10.4 cm and focus on the discussion about the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this disease.…”

Abstract. Paratesticular liposarcoma is an infrequent tumor characterized by a growing, painless, inguinal or scrotal mass. Only about 200 cases have been reported as of yet in literature, however there are a few cases regarding giant paratesticular liposarcoma measuring over 10 cm. The disease may be commonly misdiagnosed prior to operation. Improper treatment tends to lead to local recurrence and distant metastasis. The current report presents a case of a 51-year-old patient with a large, painless right scrotum. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 7.8x5.8x10.4 cm nonhomogeneous space-occupying lesion of the right testis, which was firstly diagnosed as a spermatocytoma. Following this, a radical orchiectomy of the right testis was performed, however, it appeared to be a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, following histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. Due to the large size of the tumor, it is significant to report the characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of the similar cases. The current study additionally presents a supplementary review of previously published cases in literature and focuses on discussion regarding the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, histopathology and immunohistochemical features and treatment of this disease. IntroductionLiposarcoma, a malignant tumor derives from mesodermal tissues, represents ~20% of all sarcomas. Paratesticular liposarcoma (PLS) is a rare condition. To the best of our knowledge, about 200 cases of PLS have been reported to date (1). Giant PLS is more rare with only a few cases having been reported (2-6). Due to the rarity of the disease, there is no standardized guideline as regards its incidence, diagnosis, recurrence and treatment (7,8). In this study, we present a case of a giant dedifferentiated PLS of the right testis with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measuring 7.8x5.8x10.4 cm and focus on the discussion about the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Due to the giant size of this PLS, we report this case for the characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of the similar cases. The study was supported by the Ethics Committee of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital (Shenzhen, China) and written informed consent was obtained from the patient for the publication of the case details. Case reportIn July 2017, a 51-year-old man, with a complaint of swelling of the right scrotum for 2 months, was admitted to the Department of Urology of our hospital. He presented with a painless and slow-growing fixed mass in the right scrotum without conspicuous promoting or alleviating factors. There are no other signs or symptoms. A rigid mass in the right scrotum, about 8 cm in maximum diameter, was the only positive finding of physical examinations. There are no specific abnormalities in the laboratory and imaging examinations (hemogram, urinalysis, stool routine, ESR, β-human chorionic gonadotropin, a-fetoprotein, mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody Ig-G, liver and kidney function tests and chest X-ray). However, magnetic resonance ...
