We report a case of embryonal cell carcinoma originating in the spermatic cord with review of literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in Korea.

In the Urological Department of Cho Ray hospital 1n 1998, 10 cases with non-palpable testis were operated. The lowest age of patients was 6 years old, the highest age was 27, the average was 14. Eight testes were in iliac fossae, 2 testes were in internal inguinal ring. Authors used technique liberating testicular vessels: elongating spermatic vessel and cord long enough to allow the testis to be placed into scrotum; creating a direct path to scrotum and thus, it is able to descend the testis into the scrotum by single stage orchidopexy, without traction on the vessels and damaging the blood supplying for testis. Six of ten cases were followed-up after operation by Doppler Ultrasonography. All receive good blood supply, no atrophy of testis was seen after operation

Pure rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare. We present a case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord presenting as a large scrotal mass and mimicking testicular tumor. The literatures were reviewed.

We report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord with the review of literatures. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in Korea.

We recently encountered a very rare case of torsion of an intrascrotal testicular tumor in a 26-year-old male. Unlike the intra-abdominal undescended testis, intrascrotal spermatic cord torsion associated with a testicular tumor has rarely been reported. We write to report a case of intrascrotal spermatic cord torsion accompanied by a testicular tumor that had been overlooked preoperatively.

We report 2 cases of intrauterine unilateral testicular torsion This experience reemphasizes the necessity of a careful and complete examination of the newborn immediate after delivery. The presence of a scrotal mass in a newborn that does not transilluminate represent trosion of the spermatic cord until proved otherwise, and demands immediate surgical intervention through an inguinal approach for accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy.

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare condition with a limited number of published reports in literature. These tumors are mostly diagnostic dilemmas where they are mistaken for other inguinoscrotal masses preoperatively and are only accurately diagnosed after surgery. This case report presents a liposarcoma initially mimicking an indirect inguinal hernia on presentation and a definitive diagnosis was confirmed via histopathologic examination. A literature review of other cases that have been previously reported is also presented.

Several different techniques have been utilized for the correction of a varicocele. Urologists have operated by high ligation of the internal spermatic veins via an inguinal or retroperitoneal approach. Radiologists have embolized or sclerosed these veins by percutaneous venography. Recently, microsurgeons have diverted the internal spermatic veins. Although classical procedures for the varicocele have been used successfully to eliminate retrograde blood flow, improved techniques seen desirable because a growing list of unwanted effects have been cited in associations with these procedures. In this report, we describe a new technique(Goldstein microsurgical technique) for the management of varicoceles which combines microdissection of the cord, ligation of all the tributaries of internal spermatic vein. complete control of collateral and small cross collateral veins except the vasal vein via a low inguinal approach.

Varicocele is a dilatation of plexus venosus in the spermatic cord. It rarely occurs before the age of puberty, but 15% of male teenager experienced varicocele (the rate is relatively high). This rate is higher when surveying data of male infertility (35% of primary infertility patients, and 75-81% of secondary infertility patients had experienced varicocele). Varicocele may affect both sides, but 90% of cases occurred in 1 side and among them 90% were in the left side. Microsurgery is a treatment with high rate of success
