Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma of the Epididymis: Case Report and Literature Review

The dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumor, and the epididymal localization is even rarer. The treatment is based on inguinal orchiepididymectomy, with resection of adjacent structures if invaded. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be an attractive approach, given the high rate of local recurrence. Metastatic patients and dedifferentiated subtypes constitute the main indications of chemotherapy, even if her role is still debated. We describe the case of a 58-year-old man who underwent surgery for a dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the epididymis. A review of the literature for the various facets of this condition is also provided. © 2017 Elixir All rights reserved.
