Abstract

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly malignant neoplasm and is exceedingly rare in adults, Thus, its biological behavior is unclear and there is no standard established treatment, The prognosis of recurrent paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is dismal in the elderly. Herein we describe a case of locally recurrent paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 68-year-old patient treated with surgery and radiotherapy.
