AI Article Synopsis
- Paratesticular liposarcoma is a rare tumor found in the genitourinary tract and is the most common sarcoma in adults.
- The dedifferentiated type occurs in about 10% of cases and often resembles an inguinal hernia or benign lipoma in clinical presentation.
- The case presented involves a male with dedifferentiated paratesticular liposarcoma exhibiting osseous metaplasia of the spermatic cord, manifesting as acute scrotum.
Article Abstract
Paratesticular liposarcoma is a rare tumour of the genitourinary track but the most common of all sarcomas in adults. The dedifferentiated variation occurs only in 10% of liposarcoma cases. The typical clinical presentation is similar to an inguinal hernia or a benign lipoma. We present the case of a dedifferentiated paratesticular liposarcoma with osseous metaplasia of the spermatic cord, in a male presented with acute scrotum.

Introduction: The cytology features of neoplastic paratesticular lesions are mostly documented as case reports. Thus, we conducted a case report-based literature review to identify the characteristics of paratesticular neoplasms and tried to determine the significance of FNAC in these tumors.
Methods And Materials: The studies were searched using PubMed and Scopus.

Article Synopsis
- - A man in his 70s was diagnosed with a large left inguinoscrotal mass, and tests revealed extremely high levels of hCG, leading to the identification of paratesticular dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) with rhabdomyosarcomatous features after surgical resection.
- - The patient unfortunately passed away 11 months later due to distant metastasis, highlighting that hCG-producing soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are typically aggressive, poorly differentiated, and associated with a poor prognosis.
- - This case emphasizes the need for more research on the treatment of DDLPS, particularly the potential benefits of adjuvant radiotherapy, given the rapid growth and

Article Synopsis
- Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPLPS) is a rare form of liposarcoma recently added to medical literature, typically arising from adipose tissue in extremities and retroperitoneum.
- Paratesticular liposarcomas are particularly uncommon, and MPLPS often occurs in the mediastinum, but can also affect limbs and regions like the head and neck.
- The case study describes a 50-year-old male with a swelling in the right inguinal area, diagnosed with MPLPS after an orchidectomy and subsequent histopathological analysis, marking the first reported instance of this condition affecting the spermatic cord.

Article Synopsis
- Well-differentiated liposarcoma in the paratesticular region is rare, often mistaken for common issues like inguinal hernia, and lacks standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols.* -
- A case study involved a 65-year-old man diagnosed with liposarcoma after surgery for what was thought to be a recurrent hernia; he chose to wait for treatment rather than undergo immediate surgery.* -
- Clinicians should be vigilant about this uncommon cancer, particularly in cases of suspected early hernia recurrence, as appropriate treatment typically involves surgery and potentially radiation.*
