An Adult Case of Paratesticular Spindle Cell Rhabdomyosarcoma
Urol Case Rep.
.
Abstract
Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) occurs more frequently in children and is rare in adults. Embryonal RMS is the most common subtype of paratesticular RMS. Spindle cell is a rare variant of embryonal RMS and is associated with a favorable prognosis in children. Data in adults is lacking. We present a case of paratesticular RMS in a 24-year-old man.
Keywords: Paratesticular cancer; Rhabdomyosarcoma; Spindle cell.
