Les sarcomes du cordon spermatique de l'adulte : diagnostic et prise en charge

The diagnosis of liposarcoma must be considered in all adult patients aged of more than 50 with fatty-shaped or containing fibomuscular nodules paratesticular tumours. The surgeon and the pathologist must be well informed and an early and wide resection of fatty masses of the sperm cord with negative margins is advocated. The quality of resection is crucial but its appreciation and carrying out are difficult. The role of complementary treatments, especially radiotherapy, has to be determined.
