Abstract

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and highly aggressive embryonal tumor in infancy and childhood. The tumor is intrascrotal, localized in the spermatic cord, the epididymis, or in the tunica vaginalis. Multimodality treatment should involve surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which are indicated according to risk groups. Prognosis is excellent for localized tumors, survival rates exceed 90%. We report three cases of embryonal paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma treated in our institution.
