Abstract:
The leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare malignant tumor which constitutes approximately about 10% of sarcomas of the spermatic cord and tunics. In Korea, only one case has been reported. Because the cases presented are too small to be mentioned, the efficacy of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not settled. The standard therapy for leiomyosarcoma has been radical orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord. Here, we report a case of the leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord and review the role of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.
