Malignant paratesticular tumours are uncommon. Of these, liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumour type with good prognosis, found above all in the elderly. Most have a low level of malignancy and relapses tend to be localised. Choice treatment is radical orchiectomy and patients should be followed closely since local recurrence is not uncommon. This study briefly reviews the literature on spermatic cord liposarcoma and reports an additional case that was treated for a relapse by radical. orchiectomy.
