Abstract

Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are very rare malignant neoplasms.We report one case, a 64-year-old man presented with the painless, swelling, ball shaped mass in the right inguinal canal. Histopathological evaluation including immunohistochemistry studies confirmed a conventional leiomyosarcoma. Currently there has been no evidence local recurrence or distant metastasis for three months of follow-up. Leiomyosarcoma is a extremely malignant tumor; survival is poor. The long-term prognosis of  leiomyosarcoma depends principally on stage and histologic grade. More study is needed to histological confirmation the practicable and interpretation of the diagnostic criteria for malignancy.This article reviews in the literature and the criteria of these tumors is also discussed.
