Introduction: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is a rare, highly malignant, rapidly recurring tumor. When found in the spermatic cord, this tumor may deceptively present as an inguinal hernia, and due to its rarity, may not be readily identified.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case of a 46-year old man with dedifferentiated liposarcoma presenting as a slow-growing right inguinal bulge. His surgical management included ipsilateral orchiectomy and excision with wide margins. He received adjuvant focused radiation therapy.

Conclusion: Liposarcoma of the Spermatic Cord is a rare and highly malignant tumor that rapidly recurs. Therefore, a high degree of suspicion, regular surveillance and imaging are justified.
