Spermatic cord myxoid liposarcoma presenting as an incarcerated inguinal hernia: report of a case and review of literatures

Y-F Hsu et al. Hernia. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

Incarcerated inguinal hernia is a common surgical indication in the emergency room. Delayed diagnosis can result in ischemic bowel or bowel perforation. The reported incarcerated contents include bowel loop, mesentery, omentum and, rarely, malignant lesions, such as lymphoma, metastatic tumors etc. We report a new case of primary spermatic cord liposarcoma presenting as emergent incarcerated inguinal hernia and review the related literature.
