Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical features and treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma (SCL).
METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a case of SCL, reviewed the related literature and investigated the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
RESULTSThe patient underwent tumor resection and left inguinal orchidectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed the case to be s SCL. Neither recurrence nor metastasis was found during the five-month follow-up.
CONCLUSIONSCL is a rare medical condition with no specific imaging and laboratory features. Radical orchidectomy with wide local excision of the mass is recommended for its treatment, and adjuvant radiotherapy can be considered in intermediately or highly differentiated tumors and recurrent liposarcomas, while the role of chemotherapy is not well-defined.
