Abstract

We report a case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord associated with rectum cancer. A 78-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of painless left inguinal mass. He also showed constipation and bloody bowel discharge, rectum cancer was diagnosed by further evaluation. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 2 x 4 x 6 cm mass in the left spermatic cord. Left high orchiectomy for the left inguinal tumor and Hartmann's procedure for rectum cancer was performed. Histologically, the mass in the left spermatic cord was well differentiated liposarcoma and rectum cancer was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. He died from rectum cancer with no evidence of recurrence of liposarcoma of the left spermatic cord after follow up for 6 months.
