Abstract

A 31‑year‑old male patient with a six‑year history of left inguinoscrotal swelling was admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital (Changsha, China). The mass was not found to be associated with intraperitoneal pressure. Ultrasonography and computed tomography examinations demonstrated several solid, botryoidal masses involving the spermatic cord, with limited capacity of mobility. The demarcation between the masses and the left testicle was clear; thus, the masses were removed by a left spermatic cord tumor resection via a left inguinal approach, under epidural anesthesia. Positive staining of the tumor markers, CD34+, CD99+ and Bcl‑2+, was confirmed by pathological examination following surgery, and a solitary fibrous tumor of the spermatic cord was diagnosed. No recurrence and metastasis were observed in the patient during the subsequent 25‑month follow‑up period.
