[Local recurrence of spermatic cord liposarcoma: a case report].
A 46-year-old man had undergone radical high orchiectomy because of a tumor of the right spermatic cord. Pathological diagnosis was atypical lipomatous tumor. Six years later, he had asymptomatic swelling in his right groin. Local recurrence was suspected, and surgical resection of the tumor with a sufficient surgical margin was performed. Pathological diagnosis was well-differentiated liposarcoma, sclerosing type. Ten cases of recurrent spermatic cord liposarcoma, including the present case, have been reported in Japan. Because of the possibility of local recurrence, spermatic cord liposarcoma needs strict and long-term follow up.
