title: [Unusual tumor: liposarcoma of the spermatic cord].
abstract: Spermatic cord liposarcoma is a rare tumour, as only 60 cases have been reported in the literature. They represent 7% of all malignant spermatic cord tumours. The authors report a new case of spermatic cord liposarcoma unusual by its inflammatory and fibrotic features, occurring in an 83-year-old man in poor general health. Treatment consists of surgical resection as widely as possible. Adjuvant radiotherapy is sometimes effective on local recurrences. Despite the slow rate of progression of this tumour, prolonged surveillance is required due to the high risk of late recurrence.
