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.

The exact incidence of round ligament varicosities (RLV) is uncertain, due to the fact that there are few cases reported in the literature, and in many cases, they can be confused with inguinal hernias. A 26-year-old female with 26.3 weeks of gestation by date of last menstruation, who went to the emergency service of the Naval Regional Hospital of Tampico with the presence of an increase in volume in the left inguinal region, accompanied by pain, which increased standing and decreasing with the dorsal decubitus, the physical examination confirmed an increase in volume at the left inguinal level. An ultrasound of the inguinal region was requested to rule out an inguinal hernia as the first diagnosis, Doppler ultrasound revealed RLV. The patient was treated conservatively and at two weeks after the resolution of the pregnancy, the RLV presented a spontaneous regression and her symptoms completely resolved. This is the first case of round ligament varicosities reported in present institution. It is important to be aware of this pathology, to perform extension studies (Doppler ultrasound) to avoid unnecessary surgery in pregnant women.
