Leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord.

Testicular tumors are relatively rare with 2-3 1 cases per 100,000 males reported in the USA. . When they occur 94% are germ cell tumors and the rest are gonadal stroma and secondary tumors and staging of these is the same as other testicular tumors and staging of these is the same as other testicular tumors. Although the etiology of testicular tumors is not known, there is strong association with history of cryptorchidism. Tumors of the spermatic cord are typically benign with most being the l ipomas. Of the mal ignant les ions , rhabdomyosarcoma in the juveniles is most common, followed by leiomyosarcomas, fibrosarcoma and liposarcoma. The incidence of leiomyosarcoma is not known due to the rarity of the tumor. Consequently the value of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection as part of surgical treatment remains to be determined. However it is generally agreed that inguinal Orchidectomy is the primary treatment of 2 choice for primary testicular sarcomas. CASE REPORT
