Abstract:
Sarcoma in the spermatic cord is rare, and accurate diagnosis of the histopathological subtypes are often difficult. A 62-year-old male smoker with a five-month history of left inguinoscrotal swelling was admitted to my hospital. Ultrasonography and computed tomography examinations showed a 4.0 cm×5.5 cm×4.5 cm solid mass engulfing the spermatic cord. The boundaries between the mass and the left testicle was distinct. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy showed tumor originated from mesenchymal tissue, which is likely to be malignant, hence, enabling its removal by a left spermatic cord tumor resection via a left inguinal approach, under general anesthesia. The final pathological report showed an undifferentiated spermatic cord sarcoma. No recurrence and metastasis were observed in the patient during the subsequent 26 months follow-up period.
