Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are rare tumors that are often misdiagnosed preoperatively.

- The mass was initially interpreted as a testicular tumor but was found to originate from the spermatic cord.
- Pathology revealed a liposarcoma measuring 10 × 8 × 7 cm with myxoid degeneration.

This study talks about a rare tumor found in the spermatic cord that looked like a testicle problem, and the patient had surgery to remove it.
Methodology
The patient underwent surgery for biopsy and orchidectomy after imaging suggested a testicular tumor.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Participant Demographics
A 73-year-old Caucasian male.
