“…Local relapse is a significant problem following orchiectomy, and reports have suggested that additional local treatment with surgery or irradiation may improve local control (11). In the case of osteosarcoma of paratesticular spermatic cord, complete excision of the tumor with radical inguinal orchiectomy and high ligation of the spermatic cord was the main primary surgical procedure (1,2,12). A more aggressive surgical policy in the management of spermatic cord sarcomas has been proposed as primary surgery, involving wide excision of surrounding soft tissue and re-excision in the case of local recurrence of the disease, since of the patients without clinically apparent disease who underwent re-excision, residual tumor was discovered in almost one third of the cases (13).…”

Primary paratesticular osteosarcoma: A case report

Abstract. Extraosseous osteosarcoma originating from paratesticular soft tissue is an extremely rare type of malignant tumor. With the exception of the present study, only one other case of osteosarcoma originating from paratesticular soft tissue has previously been reported. A 52-year-old man presented with a painless scrotal swelling and palpable mass. The patient underwent left orchiectomy with the diagnosis of testicular tumor. Pathological examination was suggestive of osteosarcoma without any different histological components. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and the patient is currently free of disease.

Primary paratesticular osteosarcoma is an extremely rare malignancy and, to date, only a few cases have been reported. To our knowledge, no such case arising directly from paratesticular soft tissue has been described. We describe a 52-year-old man who presented with left scrotal swelling and an excisional biopsy that revealed a sarcomatous lesion. Left inguinal orchiectomy was performed and histologic examination of the extensively sampled lesion revealed a pure paratesticular osteosarcoma. The patient died 6 months after the diagnosis with disseminated disease.

Extracellular tumors found with the spermatic cord, known as neoplasms, are usually identified to be benign. However, the accurate and timely diagnosis of spermatic cord masses is highly crucial, especially when most results are often overlooked or unclear. In this review, we discuss the anatomy and embryology of the spermatic cord. Upon rooting these fundamental concepts, we discuss an array of benign and malignant neoplastic tumors, including their origin, pathological features, clinical evaluation and management, as well as other case-specific characteristics of unique presentation. Many of these neoplasms are based on local neurological, vascular, muscular, bone, soft tissue, or lymphatic origin, while others have metastasized from particular areas of the body.
