The Board has determined that the veteran's anesthesia, sensory loss, and hypesthesia of the lateral aspects of the right thigh were not incurred in or aggravated by active service.
The deciding factor: A VA examiner concluded that there was no relationship between any inservice injury to the right leg and the development of the claimed disability.

- Denied
The Veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for scar residuals of a laceration of the left hand, third and fourth digits is denied. The Board found that the scar does not exceed 12 square inches and does not cause functional impairment not already rated.
- Granted
The Veteran's liposarcoma of the spermatic cord, status post radical left orchiectomy, is granted service connection. The residuals including hypogonadism with anemia and osteoporosis; left inguinal keloid scar; hypesthesia are also granted as secondary to the primary condition.
