Abstract
Para testicular Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma, presenting most often in the first two decades of life. Most tumors present clinically as painless scrotal swellings which can be clinically indistinguishable from a testicular tumor. Spindle cell variant of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma has an excellent prognosis. These tumors are managed with multispecialty approach. Radical orchidectomy with high ligation of spermatic cord is the standard surgical procedure followed by chemotherapeutic agents improving majority of the patient’s survival outcome. We report the case of a spindle cell variant of Para testicular embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma in a 19 year old adolescent presenting with progressive painless scrotal enlargement.
