Leiomyosarcoma of Spermatic Cord: Mimicking Inguinal Hernia

چکیده
Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are very rare malignant neoplasms.We report one case, a 64-year-old man presented with the painless, swelling, ball shaped mass in the right inguinal canal.Histopathological evaluation including immunohistochemistrystudiesconfirmed a conventional leiomyosarcoma. Currently there has been no evidence local recurrence or distant metastasis for three months of follow-up. Leiomyosarcoma is a extremely malignant tumor; survival is poor. The long-termprognosis of leiomyosarcoma depends principally on stage and histologic grade.There appears to be a lack of concurrence aboutdiagnostic criteria for malignancy opposite the leiomyosarcoma spectrum, but more studies are needed.This article reviews in the literature and the criteria of these tumors is also discussed.
