Background: Fibro lipoma of the spermatic cord is a very rare tumor with few cases reported in literature. Atypical presentation and site of swelling mystifies the diagnosis and creates bewildering situation intraoperatively. . A 30-year-old farmer presented with an elastic firm nonreducible, nontender swelling at inguinoscrotal region with positive cough impulse and history of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair 3 years ago. Ultrasonography of the swelling revealed a heteroechoic lesion of size 7 × 6 centimeter with probable features of lipoma or desmoid. Fine needle aspiration drawn in consideration of the diagnostic dilemma reported a benign lipomatous swelling which on final histopathology turned out to be a fibro lipoma of size 7 × 6 × 5 cm.
Conclusion: Considering the age and presentation of the patient, it was astonishing. It provided an insight to the occurrence of fibro lipoma even in younger age group which in fact is the first case of its kind as per best of our knowledge. Malignancy should be ruled out in such cases, and complete excision is the treatment of choice.

Article Synopsis
- Rectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of colorectal cancer with a poor survival rate and can metastasize to atypical sites, such as a lipomatous tumor.
- A case involving a 42-year-old man reveals that this carcinoma metastasized to a lipoma after undergoing treatment that included chemotherapy and surgery, ultimately leading to the patient's death a year later due to disease progression.
- This situation highlights the importance of thorough pathological examinations in seemingly benign tumors to rule out potential malignancy transfer, underscoring the need for vigilance in cancer diagnostics.

Spindle cell lipomas (SCLs) containing minimal fat are rare and can be diagnostically challenging due to their similar radiographic appearance to other benign and malignant tumours. SCLs are benign lipomatous tumours that typically occur in middle aged to elderly men as slow-growing, painless masses in the subcutaneous tissue of the posterior neck, shoulders or back. However, rarely these tumours can arise in unusual locations such as the lower extremities.
