    Author: Chang YT, Huang CJ, Hsieh JS, Huang TJ.
    Journal: Kaohsiung J Med Sci; 2004 May; 20(5):247-9. PubMed ID: 15233237.
    Abstract:
    Inguinal herniorrhaphy is the most common general surgical operation performed. Although fatty protrusions are often observed along the path of the spermatic cord, true lipomas are not commonly reported. We encountered a 42-year-old male patient who developed a large lipoma of the right spermatic cord with indirect inguinal hernia. After herniorrhaphy and tumor excision, the patient had an uneventful convalescence. There has been no recurrence up to the time of writing (20 months).
