The myxoid liposarcoma, a rare form of spermatic cord liposarcoma, is a neoplasia of adult men which arise from adipose tissue, with a slow and subdolous growth, showing good prognosis and low incidence of local or distant recurrence. The case came at our attention is the sixteenth described in literature. Orchifunicolectomy is the gold standard therapy, although in some cases in which this kind of surgery is not radical, adjuvant inguinal or retroperithoneal and pelvic nodes radiotherapy should be taken in consideration.
