Mixed paratesticular liposarcoma with osteosarcoma elements.
Spermatic cord sarcomas (SCS) are very infrequent and sometimes misdiagnosed malignancies. Moreover, their optimal management remains undefined with ongoing controversy about the indications for adjuvant therapy. Histologically, liposarcomas are the most common type. Osteosarcoma is rarely observed in this location and combined tumours with this component have not been described. We present a case of SCS with mixed differentiation with both liposarcoma and osteosarcoma elements.
