Spermatic cord liposarcoma: a report of four cases

Anticancer Res. 2003 May-Jun;23(3C):2933-4.

Abstract

Spermatic cord liposarcoma is a rare pathology (1-4); currently about one hundred cases are documented. The therapy of choice is surgery, followed sometimes by radiotherapy. We herein describe our experience of 4 cases between 1995 and 2000, with median follow-up of 34 months (mean 48 months, range 28-95 months), in order to stress the role of orchifuniculectomy, even when mass-ablation first procedure may seem radical.
