Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignancy arising from the mesenchymal tissues of the spermatic cord, epididymis, testis, and testicular tunica, and accounts for approximately 7% of all rhabdomyosarcomas. It often occurs in children but is known to have a better prognosis than disease at other urogenital sites. Patients typically present with painless unilateral scrotal swelling like a solid testicular tumor. However, we report an unusual case of delayed diagnosis of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma accompanied by epididymitis manifesting an painful scrotal swelling.
附睾旁横纹肌肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，起源于精索、附睾、睾丸和睾丸鞘膜的间叶组织，约占横纹肌肉瘤的 7%。它通常发生在儿童中，但与其他泌尿生殖部位的疾病相比，预后较好。患者通常表现为无痛性单侧阴囊肿大，类似于实性睾丸肿瘤。然而，我们报告了一例罕见的附睾旁横纹肌肉瘤伴发睾丸炎的延迟诊断病例，表现为疼痛性阴囊肿大。
