Abstract
Primary paratesticular tumours are very rare and the spermatic cord (SCT) is the most frequent site of origin, with 20% of malignancy. Although liposarcoma is the most frequent histotype (46.6 %), less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. We report the case of a 56-year-old man who presented a giant scrotal mass of 25 years of evolution and measuring 40 × 40 cm. It could be considered the greatest paratesticular liposarcoma described to date. Computed tomogaphy (CT) revealed mass features consistent with liposarcoma and the simultaneous presence of bilateral inguinal hernia with bladder involvement. A multidisciplinary approach was taken to remove the mass, solve the hernia, and provide functional results.Entities:
