title: [Two cases of liposarcoma of spermatic cord].
abstract: Liposarcomas are most commonly found in the extremities, in the retroperitoneum and, less often, in the head and neck area. The spermatic cord is a rare site of origin, accounting for about 3-7% of all liposarcomas. We report two cases of liposarcoma of spermatic cord. Case 1. A 69-year-old male presented with complaints of a painless left inguinal mass. MRI showed a huge fatty mass in the left inguinal region. The mass was removed with left testis and spermatic cord. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The surgical margin was positive, so re-resection was performed. Complete excision was achieved after re-resection. Case 2. A 63-year-old male with the difficulty urinating had a left scrotal mass. Left radical orchiectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma. These are the 84th and 85th cases of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord reported in Japan.
