Strange Localization of a Mesenchymal Tumor-Paratesticular Liposarcoma

Abstract

Liposarcoma is a very rare mesenchymal tumor that appears from an unknown cause. All around the world, there are just 200 cases of paratesticular liposarcomas reported. We presented the case of a male patient, 66 years old, that was first clinically diagnosed with orchi-epididymitis. Orchidectomy was performed the histopathological exam led to a tumor from the spectra of liposarcomas, which is a rare diagnose. The aspect of the lesion macroscopically was of a well-circumscribed nodular structure, yellow, with white areas. Immunohistochemistry was conducted for confirmation and the profile was characteristic for a primary pleomorphic liposarcoma.
