A Para-Scrotal Pleomorphic Liposarcoma Mimicking As Another Scrotum (Pseudo-Scrotum): A Case Report
Liposarcomas are a subtype of soft tissue sarcomas arising from lipoblasts, a mesenchymal cell lineage that commonly arises from deep tissues of the body. Though these are the most common subtypes, their early diagnosis still remains a challenge due to their varied presentation as a soft benign appe...

description | Liposarcomas are a subtype of soft tissue sarcomas arising from lipoblasts, a mesenchymal cell lineage that commonly arises from deep tissues of the body. Though these are the most common subtypes, their early diagnosis still remains a challenge due to their varied presentation as a soft benign appearing growth. The pleomorphic variant has complex management due to its high recurrence rate and resistance to chemoradiation. Scrotal liposarcomas have been reported. But in the present case, a 69-year-old male who presented with a pedunculated swelling in the left groin mimicking a left hemi-scrotal swelling. It was a left para-scrotal pleomorphic liposarcoma which was totally extra-scrotal, and not related to the spermatic cord or testes. So, this is a rare case with a review of the literature presented here. |
