Abstract
Paratesticular Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor. The Alveolar variant is the one with the worse prognosis. It comprehend 20% of cases. The treatment is multimodal combining surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Depending on the extent of disease and the staging group, the approach of treatment is different. Here we report the case of an alveolar Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma and review the literature regarding this unusual clinical entity.
Highlights
Several forms are described and the Alveolar variant is the one with the worse prognosis
The sonographic description of Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (PT-RMS) varies in the literature but common findings include a highly reflective mass with increased vascularity on color Doppler [5]
Group: Determined by local tumor status based on postsurgical resection or biopsy, with pathologic assessment of the tumor margin and of lymph node disease
Summary
We report the case of an alveolar Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma and review the literature regarding this unusual clinical entity. We report the case of a 9-years-old boy admitted for appearance of a tumor in the right scrotum. 3. Discussion Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (PT-RMS) accounts for 7% to 10% of all genitourinary tract RMS tumors and is the third most common, following RMS of the prostate and bladder. The paratesticular site of the tumor is difficult to determine by palpation of the scrotum [4], the test is being difficult to identify.
