Abstract

Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas. About 20% of liposarcomas originate in the retroperitoneum. It manifests as painless, slowly enlarging soft tissue mass. Inguinal region is one of the uncommon locations for liposarcoma, the tumor arising from the spermatic cord. In this location, liposarcoma needs to be differentiated from other more common pathologies in the canal including hernia. Very rarely retroperitoneal liposarcoma may manifest as inguinal hernia. We describe a case of a 60-year-old man who presented with left inguinoscrotal mass that was demonstrated to be solid enhancing soft tissue attenuation mass with small areas of fat inside on multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT). Coronal reformatted CT revealed dumbbell shape of the mass with larger retroperitoneal component contiguous with smaller left paratesticular component across a narrow segment in the inguinal canal. Patient was operated and a large retroperitoneal mass was removed. Histopathology of the resected mass revealed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Thus, firm, non-tender and large irreducible inguinoscrotal swelling in an adult should be evaluated by CT to rule out a rare inguinal extension of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. MDCT, besides revealing the diagnosis can determine the true intra-abdominal (retroperitoneal) extent of such a dumbbell shaped tumor when only tip of iceberg is visible in the inguinal region.

Özet

Liposarkom en sık yumuşak doku sarkomlarından birisidir. Liposarkomların %20’si retroperitondan kaynaklanır. Klinik olarak ağrısız, yavaş büyüyen yumuşak doku kitlesi olarak görülür. İnguinal bölge spermatik kord kaynaklı liposarkomlar için ender rastlanan bir lokalizasyondur. Bu yerleşimde liposarkomun kanalda görülebilen herni dahil diğer daha sık patolojilerden ayırt edilmesi gerekir. Burada sol inguinoskrotal kitle ile başvuran ve çok-kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi (ÇKBT) ile küçük yağ bölgeleri içeren solid yumuşak doku kitlesi olduğu gösterilen 60 yaşında erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Koronal reformat BT’de büyük retroperitoneal kompenenti olan ve inguinal kanalda dar bir segment ile daha küçük sol paratestiküler bölüm ile devamlılık gösteren kum saati şeklinde kitle görüldü. Hasta opere edildi ve büyük retroperitoneal kitle çıkarıldı. Çıkarılan kitlenin histopatolojisi dediferansiye liposarkom olarak raporlandı. Yetişkinlerde sınırları keskin, katı, hassas olmayan, büyük ve inmeyen inguinoskrotal kitleler ender olarak görülebilecek retroperitoneal sarkomun inguinal uzantısını dışlamak için BT ile değerlendirilmelidir. ÇKBT, tanıyı belirleme yanında, inguina bölgede sadece buzulun tepesinin göründüğü kum saati şekilli kitlenin gerçek karın içi (retroperitoneal) yayılımını belirleyebilir.
