[Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma]
Abstract
We report a case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 5-year-old boy who was submitted to radical orchidectomy via the inguinal approach and high ligation of the spermatic cord. Clinical and retroperitoneal staging classify this case under group I of the Intergroup Rhabdomyoma Study. Adjuvan chemotherapy with 12 courses of VAC have achieved a good clinical course to date (14 months after surgery) and a good outcome is predicted. We review the literature and discuss the features of this mesenchymal tumor.
