Abstract
- Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood, representing 4 to 8% of all malignant tumors in children below 15 years old, but rhabdomyosarcoma of the paratesticular region is rare. The paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly malignant lesion with early invasion and metastasis, which has retroperitoneal metastases in about half of the patients at time of diagnosis. However, the survival rates have been improved greatly by using multimodal therapy. We are submitting a case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma with retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis with review of literatures.
