AbstractLiposarcoma in the inguinal region though rare are clinically significant lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult since the clinical findings are very similar to that of inguinal hernia. We report a rare case of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in 85 year old male, clinically diagnosed as left sided indirect inguinal hernia. Surgical excision specimen showed multiple globular lipomatous masses which were yellowish and grey tan with areas of myxoid degeneration and necrosis seen. Microscopic examination showed adipocytes arranged in lobules with numerous blood vessels, lipoblasts and myxoid stroma confirming the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma. He is on regular follow up since two years without any recurrence or metastasis. Our case report highlights the importance of sampling and examination of fatty masses in the inguinal region to rule out the possibility of liposarcoma as they are mistaken for lipoma at surgery.

Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of two distinct vasa deferentia within one spermatic cord, with only 28 cases reported worldwide since 1959. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a duplicate vas deferens, presenting with abdominal pain from bowel obstruction secondary to incarcerated inguinal hernia. Spermatic cord dissection during hernioplasty revealed duplication of the vas deferens within the right spermatic cord. Doppler ultrasonography confirmed absence of waveforms in both vasa deferentia with arterial signal in the accompanying vessel. The hernia was repaired without complication. This report emphasizes recognition of duplicate vas deferens in avoiding iatrogenic injury and optimizing surgical outcome.
