Abstract
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. A 52-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of a mass in his left scrotum. He came with suspected testicular tumor, but all the measured tumor markers were negative. Imaging test showed approximately 2cm diameter mass accompanied by calcification with some substantial components between the testis and epididymis. Left high testicular resection was performed. The tumor had no continuity between the testis and epididymis, and the spermatic cord transection was negative. Pathological findings showed well differentiated fatty component and a dedifferentiated component around the trabecular bone-like tissue. We observed dedifferentiated dysmorphic cells mixed with fatty droplets of unequal size. Immunostaining led to the diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. No additional postoperative therapy was performed. The possibility of dedifferentiated liposarcoma should be kept in mind even if mass is confined to the scrotum and consisted of calcification. In the case of an intrascrotal calcified mass with malignant perspective, radical surgery is highly recommended.
