Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are rare malignancies with only sporadic cases (less than 150) reported in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis of a paratestical leiomyosarcoma is challenging. Clinicians do not typically consider inguinoscrotal lumps as underlying sarcomas due to their relatively low prevalence compared with hernias. As a result the diagnosis of a sarcoma of the paratesticular area is often hard to reach. Herein, we report a rare case of a leiomyosarcoma originating from the spermatic cord, masquerading as a strangulated inguinal hernia. Intraoperatively, a mass arising from the spermatic cord was found and excised. A supplementary orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord was also performed.
