An additional case of leiomyosarcoma of spermatic cord which brings the total reported number to 49, is described. The case is compared with the others and further data on histogenesis and histological behaviour of the tumor, are given. Surgical treatment and role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are discussed.

On the Origin of Abdominal Venous Leiomyosarcomas: The Role of the Sex-Hormone Drainage Pathways.
World J Oncol
October 2024
Department of Medical Imaging, University of Toronto, Princess Margaret Cancer Center, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates abdominal venous leiomyosarcoma (AV-LMS), focusing on its origins from veins associated with the sex-hormone drainage pathway (SHDP).
- A retrospective analysis of imaging from 155 patients with confirmed non-uterine abdominal/pelvic LMS revealed that more than half of the tumors originated from venous structures, particularly those linked to the SHDP, including adrenal and ovarian veins.
- Key findings indicate that tumors from the SHDP are prevalent and may lead to a lower risk of distant metastases at diagnosis, with tumor size and SHDP origin being critical factors in predicting metastasis risk.

Scrotal masses, whether cystic or solid lesions, are routinely evaluated using ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used for further investigation in cases with atypical findings, difficult diagnoses, large masses, and/or unclear relationships with the surrounding tissues. Scrotal solid masses are divided into intra- and extra-testicular masses.

Article Synopsis
- This case involves a 37-year-old man with both leiomyosarcoma and tenosynovial giant cell tumor, highlighting the difficulties in diagnosing the latter due to biases in clinical assessments.
- The patient's knee symptoms temporarily worsened after treatments for leiomyosarcoma, which ultimately led to the discovery of the tenosynovial giant cell tumor following further imaging and biopsy.
- The study emphasizes the need for improved diagnostic strategies and outlines updated treatment guidelines, including novel pharmacological options for managing tenosynovial giant cell tumor effectively.
A Rare Case of Paratesticular Leiomyosarcoma.

Pathology, Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Orlando, USA.
Paratesticular leiomyosarcoma is a rare urologic cancer that arises from undifferentiated smooth muscles of the spermatic cord or epididymis. Few accounts of this cancer have been reported but previous reports have identified radiation and anabolic steroids as possible risk factors. We report a case of an 83-year-old man with a previous history of radiation therapy for prostate cancer, who presented with a painless left scrotal mass.

Department of Medical Oncology, Centre Georges-François Leclerc, 1 Rue du Professeur Marion, 21000, Dijon, France.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of adult patients with spermatic cord sarcoma (SCS).
Methods: All consecutive patients with SCS managed by the French Sarcoma Group from 1980 to 2017 were analysed retrospectively. Multivariate analysis (MVA) was used to identify independent correlates of overall survival (OS), metastasis-free survival (MFS), and local relapse-free survival (LRFS).
