Description
Summary:	Liposarcomas are an uncommon occurrence in the paratesticular region that makes about 20 % of all sarcomas. The clinical appearance is an inguinal lump, which can resemble a hydrocele or hernia. There would be no conventional treatment accessible because it is such a rare disease. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with paratesticular myxoid liposarcoma. Ultrasound and CT-scan came back in favor of a paratesticular tumor. A high inguinal orchidectomy has been done and the diagnostic of myxoid liposarcoma was first evoked by histology and confirmed by molecular biology. At 12 months follow up the patient remains tumor free.
