Liposarcoma are a group of malignant tumours which are derived from mesodermal tissue. The spermatic cord is a rare site for liposarcoma; around 200 cases of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord have been reported in the English literature to date. They typically present as a non-tender, slow growing masses of variable size in the scrotum or inguinal region. They are frequently misdiagnosed as other common pathologies, such as an inguinal hernia. We present a case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord, which histopathology confirmed to be of sclerosing subtype.
