Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor that can arise from any tissue containing smooth muscle. Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are rare tumors of non-testicular origin, which drain into the retroperitoneal lymph nodes and have been reported in less than 150 cases in the literature until now. Radical inguinal orchiectomy and high ligation of the cord is the standard primary surgical procedure in spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma. Conclusions: Preoperative diagnosis of spermatic cord leiomyosarcma is difficult and commonly made by histological examination and immunochemical staining.
