Abstract
Malignant paratesticular and spermatic cord tumors are rare and often misdiagnosed preoperatively due to clinical presentations similar to other benign scrotal mass etiologies. Only a few cases regarding giant, paratesticular liposarcomas (>10 cm) have been reported. We report a unique case of an aggressive giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the scrotum with osteosarcoma features in a 70-year-old patient who initially presented with indolent scrotal swelling. A CT scan showed a large, complex, solid and cystic mass (12.0 x 15.5 x 19.0 cm) in the right scrotum. With a concern of a complex hydrocele, the patient was taken to the operating room for a scrotal approach to excise the hydrocele, but the spermatic cord was not traced to any discernible testicle as the entire mass was indurated and multilocular, and was excised. Pathology revealed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, with MDM2 amplification. The patient's course was complicated due to metastatic disease.
