Spermatic Cord Liposarcoma Associated with Prostate Cancer

Abstract

We report on a case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord treated with radical orchidectomy and wide excision of the tumour wit- hout adjuvant treatment. After 16 years of follow up, neither local nor distant recurrences were detected. Spermatic cord liposarco- ma is a rare disease. The basic treatment for all patients with spermatic cord liposarcoma is radical orchidectomy with wide local re- section and high ligature of the spermatic cord. The role of postoperative irradiation depends on pathologic findings. Local recurren- ces are rare but because of late events, a long follow-up is mandatory.
