We report the case of a 39-year-old male patient who debuted with symptoms of neurological deterioration secondary to advanced disease of a long-standing paratesticular tumor without therapeutic approach. Liposarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of adipose tissue, with a usual presentation of indolent disease and slow growth. Not many cases of advanced disease have been reported in the literature due to the low metastatic potential of this rare histological lineage in paratesticular tumors. The clinical importance of the presented case is due to the diagnostic approach secondary to the deterioration of the patient's neurological status due to the presence of metastatic disease in the central nervous system. We make a summary of the diagnostic and therapeutic management and characteristics of this pathology.
