title: Diagnosis challenge of atypical spindle cells neoplasm of the spermatic cord.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report an unusual case of softtissue neoplasm and to review the literature on this type of tumour.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report an accidentally found tumour closely related to the spermatic cord that was diagnosed in a 70 year-old man when he was being operated on for an inguinal hernia repair.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After thorough analysis by experienced pathologists it was not possible to determine the nature of the tumour that was removed at surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Soft tissues neoplasms of the spermatic cord may occur in an unusual way and they may be a real challenge to diagnose.
