title: [Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord: a case report].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the article is to summarize experience in the pathology, diagnosis and treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma (SCL).
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data of a patient with liposarcoma of the spermatic cord was reviewed in combination with related literature.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 24-year-old male presented with a 1-year history of a mass in the right hemiscrotum. The tumor was resected and right inguinal orchidectomy was performed. The tumor had not recurred after 6 months follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Spermatic cord liposarcoma (SCL) is a rare medical condition and it is therefore difficult to establish guidelines for treatment, diagnosis and prognosis. Radical orchidectomy with wide local excision of the mass is the recommended therapy, while adjuvant radiotherapy may be considered in intermediate or high-grade tumors and recurrent liposarcomas. The role of chemotherapy is not well-defined.
