rhabdomyosarcoma/tunica

Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of tunica vaginalis is very rare. We report a case of a 15-year-old man presenting as hydrocele. Pre-operatively, no masses were detected by ultrasonography. Hydrocelectomy was performed. At surgery, a 0.8 cm polypoid nodule and diffusely thickened tunica were found.

We report 2 cases of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare malignant tumor, arising from the tunica dartos in the scrotum. Sonography revealed that each tumor had clear boundaries, a complete capsule, abundant blood flow, and an internal hypoechoic signal. Patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma who

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcomas are rare tumors with aggressive growth patterns. Multimodal therapy with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy provides the patient with an excellent long-term prognosis. These tumors often present in the first two decades after birth. We report on the case of an

Pediatric paratesticular primary malignant tumors are rare, and most of them correspond to rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS). Paratesticular RMS has a better prognosis than RMS originating in other locations, because of its favorable histology and possible early diagnosis. The diagnosis relies upon the US

Paratesticular/scrotal and inguinal canal mass lesions in elderly patients may pose a diagnostic challenge to both the surgeon as well as the pathologist. In most cases, these represent hernial sacs with their contents, and true neoplasms like lipomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, and fibrous pseudotumors are
