[A case of lipoma of the spermatic cord]

Abstract

A rare case of lipoma of the spermatic cord is reported. A 53-year-old man was admitted with painless mass in the left scrotum during the preceding one year. Since an elastic soft, tenderless, smooth surface, fist-sized and low echoic solid pattern mass in the left scrotum was suspected of tumor of the spermatic cord, resection of the mass with left orchiectomy was performed. Histological finding showed lipoma of the spermatic cord. Including the present case, 61 cases of intrascrotal lipoma in the Japanese literature are reviewed.
