Core Tip
Core Tip: Atypical liposarcoma/well-differentiated liposarcoma is commonly distributed in the retroperitoneum, deep tissue of the extremities, and mediastinum, but rarely in the scrotum. We report the cases of two patients with paratesticular liposarcomas who were treated with radical testicular tumor resection without adjuvant therapy. The cases highlight surgery as the first choice of treatment, regardless of primary or recurrent liposarcoma, and show that extended resection is not beneficial for overall survival. Further, radiotherapy can provide a balance between the local recurrence rate and overall survival.
