A case of giant liposarcoma of the spermatic cord was reported. A 75-year-old man was admitted with a 25-year history of a slowly growing left scrotal solid mass without trans-illumination. The removed huge mass measuring 26.0 x 16.5 x 20.0 cm and weighing 4,500 g was confirmed to be a well-differentiated liposarcoma according to WHO classification. The patient died of acute pneumonia 5 months later, although the postoperative course was uneventful and he had no sign of recurrence.

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord (LSC) is extremely rare; < 200 cases were reported in the medical literature. Because of the rarity of these tumors and their presentation as a painless inguinal or scrotal mass, preoperative diagnosis is uncertain and they are frequently misdiagnosed as inguinal hernias.

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.*
