Abstract EN
Introduction.
Liposarcoma is a rare pathological entity.
By far it is the most common histological subtype of genitourinary sarcomas in adults.
Approximately two hundred cases were reported in the literature.
We are hereby presenting a case with a typical clinical scenario of paratesticular liposarcoma.
Case report.
A 75-year-old gentleman presented with a painless right hemiscrotal swelling that was progressively increasing in size over the last 6 years.
Testicular tumour markers were negative.
Imaging showed a heterogenous mass with fat component.
Subsequently he underwent wide local excision that included the paratesticular mass along with the right testicle and all right inguinal canal contents up to the deep inguinal ring with the sparing of right illioinguinal nerve.
Histopathological examination showed a well differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord.
He remained recurrence-free so far after 18 months of followup.
Conclusion.
Radical orchidectomy with wide local excision comprises the cornerstone of treatment of paratesticular liposarcoma.
Due to the rarity of the disease there is no definite universal consensus of opinion as regards the role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
