ABSTRACT
Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are rare malignancies with only sporadic cases (less than 150) reported in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis of a paratestical leiomyosarcoma is challenging. Clinicians do not typically consider inguinoscrotal lumps as underlying sarcomas due to their relatively low prevalence compared with hernias. As a result the diagnosis of a sarcoma of the paratesticular area is often hard to reach. Herein, we report a rare case of a leiomyosarcoma originating from the spermatic cord, masquerading as a strangulated inguinal hernia. Intraoperatively, a mass arising from the spermatic cord was found and excised. A supplementary orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord was also performed.
