Abstract
Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare. We report 6 cases with followup ranging from 3 months to 23 years from presentation. Initially 4 liposarcomas were well differentiated and 2 had poorly differentiated components. All 6 patients underwent radical orchiectomy and 3 required additional surgical procedures. Although most liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are of low grade and stage, the propensity for local recurrence is high. The importance of long-term followup cannot be overemphasized.
