Liposarcoma in the spermatic cord is a rare condition with an incidence of 1 per 2.5 million. The condition can present as paratesticular pain and a quick diagnosis is important in order to ensure proper treatment and to improve the prognosis. We describe a case of a 69-year-old man who suffered from long-lasting swelling in the inguinal area and experienced increasing pain through a period of ...

Torsion of the spermatic cord constitutes a surgical emergency. Morphologically and functionally, the fate of the compromised testis largely depends on the time elapsed between the acute episode and surgical intervention. Patients who had been treated for testicular torsion by our group from 1976 to 1989 were requested to return for outpatient evaluation. These patient were divided into two gro...

OBJECTIVES The testicular, deferential, and cremasteric arteries and their branches surround the vas deferens (VD), leaving them susceptible to injury during vasectomy. Literature describing the caliber of arteries seen in vasectomy specimens is lacking, making it difficult to categorize the significance of an observed artery. We aimed to establish reference values for arterial size typically e...

Introduction: Varicocele disease is well-known cause of infertility in men. The presence of spermatic varices veins create a hostile environment to spermatogenesis. It results in reduced quality of the sperm production and in some cases can determine a total absence of sperm. The varicocelectomy procedure in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) can raise the rates of sperm in the sem...

Emergency presentation of a groin lump has many possible causes. Spermatic cord abscess is an extremely rare condition with only two cases published. Both published cases of spermatic cord abscess were an extension from the primary intra-abdominal pathologic process [1,2]. We report the first case of external inoculation of the bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) into the spermatic cord during cor...

The aim of the research was to determine the incidence, significance, and anatomy of spermatic cord and round ligament lipomas. Between 2000 and 2010 we evaluated 969 consecutive patients with 1,070 indirect inguinal hernias, who underwent open repair. A total of 22 lipomas of the spermatic cord or round ligament were identified and resected in 22 patients. No neoplastic changes confirmed in hi...

Spermatic Cord Liposarcoma are uncommon soft tissue neoplasm. Association with others tumors is so exceptional. We describe and relation between liposarcoma and prostate cancer in a 66 years old patient who had a left paratesticular tumor with low speed growth and 12 cm of length; nodule in prostate gland was detected. Ecography demostrate an hipoecoic tumor in the spermatic cord; Prostate Spec...
