Leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord: a case report.
A 61-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 1.5-year history of a gradually enlarging mass in the left scrotum. The mass was apart from the testis and fixed to the spermatic cord. The firm consistency and heterogeneous expression on ultrasonography suggested a malignant tumor. Orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord was performed and a histological examination revealed leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord. Distant metastases were not observed. Because the incidence of local recurrence has been reported to be high, we performed irradiation to control the disease. At 32 months post-surgery he was alive with no evidence of disease.
