Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is extremely rare in dogs and humans. This report describes the clinical signs, typical diagnostic imaging including ultrasound and computed tomography, and treatment of a liposarcoma of the spermatic cord of a Toy Poodle confirmed by histological examination after a surgical procedure. This case highlights the importance of preoperative diagnostic imaging and ...

BACKGROUND Metastatic cancers of the paratesticular tissue are very rare; however, the most frequent primary site of spermatic cord metastasis is the gastrointestinal tract. CASE PRESENTATION We recently observed two cases of late-onset metastatic adenocarcinoma of the spermatic cord. Both patients complained of groin discomfort with a palpable mass in the scrotum and inguinal area. Radical o...

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a very rare neoplasm with fewer than 200 cases recorded in world literature. This report describes a case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord which developed after radical prostatectomy and salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer treatment. Four years following surgical treatment of the primary neoplasm and one year following radiotherapy, the 67 –year –ol...

We describe the effective use of the bipolar vessel-sealing device: LigaSure for the division of the internal spermatic vessels in a laparoscopic varicocelectomy. A total of 52 males with varicocele (left-side n = 49, and bilateral n = 3) were included in this study. Blunt dissection was used to isolate the packet of spermatic vessels. The packet of spermatic vessels was divided using a bipolar...

Hydrocele of spermatic cord is caused by defect in closure of the processus vaginalis, as the testicles descend into the scrotum during foetal development. It usually occurs in infancy and childhood. There are two types of hydrocele of spermatic cord. Encysted type is caused by defective closure at both proximal and distal ends of processus vaginalis and it does not communicate with the periton...

Metastatic tumors of the spermatic cord are extremely rare, and the prognosis for patients is typically poor. In the majority of cases, the primary tumor occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with a metastatic spermatic cord tumor. The patient complained of groin discomfort with a tender mass in the right inguinal area. An excisional biopsy was performed, a...

Primary malignant mesothelioma (MM) of spermatic cord is extremely rare. We presented two malignant mesotheliomas involving the spermatic cords; one was primary, one secondary. The secondary one represented the direct involvement by a peritoneal MM. No occupational exposure to asbestos was identified in either patient. Both of them presented with a painless inguinal mass. Microscopically the pr...
