“…In spermatic cord sarcomas, there is a high rate of local recurrence after treatment with surgery alone (71% of cases), and some authors recommend postoperative radiation therapy to reduce the recurrence rate. The growth of paratesticular malignant fibrous histiocytoma is more obvious than growth at other sites, so that patients present earlier and have a slightly more favorable prognosis (18).…”

Extratesticular neoplasms are rare but clinically significant lesions that affect patients of all ages. These neoplasms are generally asymptomatic but may have potentially life-threatening sequelae. Lipoma is the most common primary benign paratesticular neoplasm and the most common tumor of the spermatic cord. Adenomatoid tumor is the most common tumor of the epididymis, followed by leiomyoma. In adult patients, it is imperative to consider sarcomas in the differential diagnosis of all solid tumors of the scrotum. The most common sarcomatous tumors in pediatric patients are embryonal sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. Metastases, particularly from testicular, prostatic, renal, and gastrointestinal primary malignancies, can also occur. Mimics of paratesticular neoplasms including polyorchidism and splenogonadal fusion are rare but must also be considered for optimal management. Ultrasonography (US) is currently the imaging modality of choice. However, US findings are often variable and nonspecific and do not usually allow definitive characterization. Specific computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings with respect to tumor location, morphologic features, and tissue characteristics can aid in the evaluation of paratesticular neoplasms and help narrow the differential diagnosis.

We present a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord. An 86-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a right painless scrotal mass. Under the diagnosis of a testicular tumor, right radical orchiectomy was performed. Grossly, the tumor firmly adhered to the spermatic cord. The right testis and epididymis were normal. The histologic diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma. There was local recurrence 2 months after surgery. The recurrent tumor was resected with the surrounding soft tissue, but the patient died 5 months after the initial operation.

“…Overall, almost 80% of spermatic cord malignant fibrous histiocytoma occurred in patients who were ≥ 50 years old (Table 1). Spermatic cord malignant fibrous histiocytoma generally presented as a slowly growing, 4,5,12 Several patients felt mild pain in the tumour region. The largest spermatic cord malignant fibrous histiocytoma recorded in the literature was a well-encapsulated mass, measuring 27 × 22 × 17 cm.…”

“…2 Some pathologists consider malignant fibrous histiocytoma to be a discrete entity that may be subclassified into specific sarcoma types. 3 Malignant fibrous histiocytoma arises mainly in the deep soft tissues of the extremities (70%) and retroperitoneum (16%) and, occasionally, in the inguinal region; 4 it rarely involves the spermatic cord, and was first described at this site by Cole et al in 1972. 5 A literature search revealed that 33 cases of spermatic cord malignant fibrous histiocytoma have been reported in English-language journals.…”

This case study reports on a rare case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising in the right spermatic cord. An 80-year old male presented with a 2-week history of a right inguinal mass, with mild pain in the same region. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a mass arising from the right spermatic cord. A right radical orchiectomy was performed with wide dissection of the mass; the right testicle and epididymis were found not to be grossly involved. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and recovered well. The patient and his family refused further adjuvant radiotherapy. There was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis during 20 months of regular follow-up. The diagnosis, histological classification, treatment and prognosis of this case are presented, together with a review of the literature.
