“…5 The World Health Organisation has grouped liposarcomas histologically into five different categories: atypical lipomatous tumour/well differentiated, dedifferentiated, myxoid, pleomorphic and mixed-type liposarcoma. 1,9 Dedifferentiated and pleomorphic liposarcomas are generally regarded as high-grade, aggressive tumours with metastatic F I G U R E 2 Scrotal ultrasound demonstrating the relationship of an inhomogeneous, well-defined, ovoid, vascular mass (*) to the left inguinal canal and testicle F I G U R E 3 Computed tomography demonstrating a well-circumscribed low-density lesion (*) within the left hemi-scrotum superior to the testicle potential. 10 This case study presented a dedifferentiated liposarcoma which may have been a new lesion or arose from a pre-existing well-differentiated liposarcoma.…”

“…Ultrasound is considered the primary modality to assess scrotal masses. 1 It is able to differentiate solid and cystic lesions, assess vascularity and identify lesion location. In addition to this, ultrasound can also exclude potential pathologies such as inguinal hernias and testicular/epididymal masses that liposarcomas may be mistaken for.…”

“…Scrotal lesions can be intra or extratesticular in origin with the majority of extratesticular lesions being benign in nature. 1 Malignant paratesticular lesions include adenocarcinomas and sarcomas. 1 Liposarcomas are a rare malignant tumour derived embryonically from mesodermal tissue and account for 3% to 7% of paratesticular sarcomas.…”

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.

Understanding a variety of scrotal diseases is essential to developing an accurate differential diagnosis and is critical in providing optimal patient care. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice when evaluating for scrotal pathology, with the major purpose of locating such pathology to either the testis, or epididymis, or other intrascrotal structures, as well as characterizing lesions as solid or cystic. It is generally assumed that most solid intratesticular masses are more likely malignant, whereas most extratesticular ones are benign, although some exceptions to that rule exist. This pictorial essay will focus on rare and less commonly encountered benign and malignant testicular and paratesticular pathologies, which may pose a diagnostic dilemma for interpreting radiologists and treating physicians. Knowledge of their imaging characteristics will help narrow the differential diagnosis and assist in proper patient management and care.
