A case report of primary para-testicular spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma.

Para-testicular rhabdomyosarcoma (PTRMS) is a rare tumor, and it accounts for 7% of all rhabdomyosarcoma tumors. Among all the rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) types, the spindle cell RMS is extremely rare. The present study describes a case of a para-testicular spindle cell RMS that was treated with a radical inguinal orchiectomy (RIO) and right scrotal resection. A 17-year-old male patient presented with a half-year history of a rapidly growing, painless, right scrotal mass. His CT of the pelvic cavity showed a mixed-density mass in the right scrotum, and the maximum cross-sectional area was approximately 76.5 mm × 64.5 mm. An X-ray of the chest demonstrated no evidence of metastasis, and a local surgical excision was performed subsequently. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the final diagnosis of spindle cell RMS. As a newly diagnosed case, strict and regular follow-up is needed. This article focuses on the importance of prompt recognition, diagnosis, pathological features, and appropriate management of para-testicular spindle cell RMS.
