“…Paratesticular RMS is easier to diagnose and treat early, because of the superficial and easier-to-access nature of the site [6]. Subtypes include alveolar, pleomorphic, embryonal, and mixed type [7]. More than 90% of paratesticular RMSs have embryonal histology, although this subtype has a better prognosis than alveolar, which more easily spreads to distant sites or lymph nodes.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue tumor of childhood; about 80% of cases occur before the age of 21 with the remaining 20% evenly spread throughout the remaining decades. A primary paratesticular site is considered to have a good prognosis in comparison with other RMS sites. Histologically, any subtype of RMS, including alveolar, pleomorphic, embryonal, and mixed type, may occur in the paratesticular region, but only a relatively small number of cases are mixed and this variant has a poor prognosis. We report a case of paratesticular RMS (mixed embryonal and alveolar type) in a 16-year-old boy.

Primary adult intratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma: Results of the treatment of six cases

et al. 2010

Abstract:The aim of the present study was to assess the treatment outcomes in a cohort of adult patients with intratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. Between 1999 and 2008, 296 patients underwent radical orchiectomy for intrascrotal mass. A retrospective chart review was carried out for adult patients diagnosed with intratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. Overall, six patients (mean age 21 years, range 17-23) were included: five had embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma and one had pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. Four patients underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and five patients had postoperative chemotherapy. The mean length of follow up was 28 months (range 12-51 months). One patient was lost to follow up after 26 months, five cases remained alive at the end of the study. Surgical resection with chemotherapy was an effective way to achieve favorable outcomes and long-term survival in adult patients with metastases from intratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma.

“…It has no specific tumor markers. Its various histological subtypes are embryonal, pleomorphic, alveolar, and mixed types [1]. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas typically arise in the head and neck region or in the genitourinary tract although they may occur at any primary site.…”

“…Adult paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is extremely rare and has high malignant potential. It spreads rapidly and thus needs to be diagnosed accurately and treated early [1]. We report a case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult with unusual presentation as acute intestinal obstruction.…”
