Report of a case of paratesticular liposarcoma
Keywords:
myxoid, liposarcoma, case reports, orchiectomyAbstract
Liposarcoma are neoplasms that originate from mesenchymal cells, and their paratesticular location is infrequent. They are divided into four histological subtypes, the myxoid being the rarest. The report of a case of myxoid paratesticular liposarcoma and a review of the literature are shown, with the aim of providing information on this rare disease. The case is a 70-years-old male patient who assists the clinic due to painless right scrotal swelling of 13 months evolution, who was initially diagnosed with a unilateral inguinal hernia. Right radical inguinal orchiectomy and high cord ligation were performed. The pathological piece of 2500g is received in pathological anatomy. Myxoid liposarcoma is evidenced at histological study. Chest, abdomen and pelvis computed tomography showed no metastasis. The presence of liposarcoma should be taken into account during the diagnostic study of scrotal masses to minimize the rate of misdiagnosis and inadequate management.
