Early Local Recurrence of a Pure Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Testis Successfully Managed with Local Resection Associated with Lymphadenectomy and Adjuvant Chemotherapy

The pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the testis is a very rare entity, and an aggressive tumor of children and young adolescents. The paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is more common, and it develops from the mesenchymal tissue of the spermatic cord, epididymis, or tunica vaginalis. Pure testicular...

Description
Summary:The pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the testis is a very rare entity, and an aggressive tumor of children and young adolescents. The paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is more common, and it develops from the mesenchymal tissue of the spermatic cord, epididymis, or tunica vaginalis. Pure testicular localization is rarely reported. We report a 17-year-old with a pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the testis which develops after orchidectomy and is a rapid local recurrence. In light of this case report, we discuss the diagnostic, risk of recurrence, and the management of this particular case.
