summary

This paper reports the case of a 45-year old man preoperatively suspected to have lipoma of the right spermatic cord. The tumor was removed operatively. Histologic examination revealed liposarcoma myoxides of the right spermatic cord. For the reason of malignancy a radical right orchiectomy was performed. The patient was discharged after treatment in good health. This case is worth reporting considering the rare occurrence of such tumor and its diagnostic problem.
