RESUMEN
Spermatic cord malignancy is a rare and challenging diagnosis, often misdiagnosed as an inguinal hernia or cord lipoma. In these images, we show a 61-year-old male for whom laparoscopic repair of clinically diagnosed hernia was attempted. Laparoscopy revealed closed internal ring without hernia. Imaging showed large paratesticular mass; radical inguinal excision of testicle, cord, and mass was performed. Pathology showed mixed low-grade and high-grade sarcoma. Liposarcoma should be considered in cases of unusual inguinal mass; appropriate imaging can guide surgical approach and optimize outcomes.
