AB  - Paratesticular sarcomas are a rare entity and provide 
a unique clinical challenge due to their slow growing, 
often painless natural course. Adding to this challenge 
is the complex anatomy of the scrotum that allows these 
masses to mimic other conditions, including inguinal 
hernia, cysts, or fluid collections. We report such a 
case and our approach to an 83-year-old male with 
dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord with 
a history of inguinal hernia. In doing so, we highlight 
the need for thorough evaluation of scrotal masses and 
the management of these rare, though well-described, 
tumors.
