Myxoid Pleomorphic Liposarcoma of the Spermatic Cord: A Rare Entity at a Rare Site

Abstract

Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPLPS) is an extremely rare entity that has been recognized and included in the literature recently. Liposarcomas are adipocytic tumors that are usually located in the extremities and retroperitoneum. Paratesticular liposarcomas are extremely rare malignant tumors originating from the adipose tissue of the paratesticular region. Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPLPS) is an exceedingly rare variant of liposarcoma, with very few cases reported in the literature so far. Mediastinum is the most common site for MPLPS followed by the limbs, head, and neck. We report a case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a swelling in the right inguinal region, which came to the patient's attention in the past month. After investigations, a right-high orchidectomy was done. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were performed and a diagnosis of myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPLPS) involving the spermatic cord was made. So here we report this case of myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma involving the spermatic cord for the first time in the literature.
