Title Of Article :
Primary paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma
Abstract :
Rhabdomyosarcomas are soft tissue tumors mostly seen in childhood, often presenting in the fi rst and second decades, on head and neck region and limbs. Primary paratesticular rhabdomyosarcomas are rare tumors and account for 7% of all rhabdomyosarcomas. We presented a primary paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 17-year-old male patient who presented with a right scrotal mass. Paratesticular rahbdomyosarcomas may grow rapidly, and thus need to be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Surgical resection is necessary and combined chemotherapy is the standard treatment.
