Adult Para Testicular Spindle Cell Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Case Report From Pakistan.

ABSTRACT

Para testicular or intra-scrotal Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are rare. The spindle cell variant of rhabdomyosarcoma is the least common variant among embryonal subtypes. They are mostly seen in childhood but rarely reported in adults. We present a case of a 56-year-old man who presented with a three-year history of painless left inguinoscrotal swelling, which he initially ignored and misinterpreted as an Inguinal hernia but later sought medical help upon a progressive increase in the size of the swelling. Clinically and radiologically, there was sparing of the left testis and spermatic cord with normal testicular tumor markers and no evidence of lymphadenopathy or metastasis. Surgical exploration was performed with complete excision of the mass, followed by histopathology and immunocytochemistry, confirming the diagnosis of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma. Prompt recognition, early diagnosis, and appropriate surgical treatment are the hallmarks of management. Regular and strict follow-up is needed due to the rarity of diagnosis.
