Case Discussion

Liposarcomas are rare tumors derived from the mesodermal tissue which are found most commonly in the lower extremities. Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are a rare cause of groin mass and pain which can mimic the symptoms of more common conditions such as inguinal hernias.

This case was confirmed histologically and managed surgically.
