Spermatic cord malignancies are very rare tumours. Less than 100 cases of cord liposarcoma have been reported in the literature. Divergent differentiation into leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma is a rare phenomenon but can occur. Lipoleiomyosarcoma usually represents the well-differentiated subtype of this entity. We report such a rare case in spermatic cord with an unusual presentation as a recurrent inguinal hernia in a 62-year-old man.
