Transplant Proc. 2010 May;42(4):1355-7. doi: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2010.03.043.

Abstract

Herein, we report the case of a 52-year-old man with a spermatic cord liposarcoma that developed 4 years after renal transplantation. The patient was admitted with a diagnosis of inguinal hernia. During surgical exploration, a solid mass was found arising from the spermatic cord. Histologic analysis demonstrated a well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma.
