ABSTRACT: Few cases of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord have been reported in the literature. This rare tumor represents 7% of malignant tumors of the spermatic cord. We report a case of an unusual liposarcoma of the spermatic cord, with respect to its sclerosing variant, occurring in a healthy looking 42 years old man. A wide local excision of the tumor was performed. Adjuvant radiotherapy may sometimes be effective on local recurrence. Even though this tumor evolves slowly, a prolonged follow up is required because of the risk of late recurrence.
