Abstract:
We report a rare case of well differentiated paratesticular liposarcoma in a 72-year -old male. His chief complaint was left painless scrotal mass for about three years. The mass was composed of hard, soft, and rubbery components and its size was 20x5x5 cm in dimension. Scrotal ultrasonography showed huge highly echogenic multilobulated mass with some calcification and CT scan excluded the presence of nodal involvement. Left radical orchiectomy was performed as treatment and the patient has survived 24 months without evidence of recurrence. Paratesticular liposarcoma is very rare and most of them are low-grade malignancies and treatment is radical orchiectomy with wide local excision.
