A case of an elder male patient with a weird inguinal lump is presented. Neither physical examination nor computed tomography correctly identified the tumor. Only just after surgery, a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord was diagnosed. The spermatic cord malignant tumors generally originate below the external inguinal ring growing into the scrotum and rarely prevail in the groin as in our case.
