Abstract

Paratesticular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignancy developed from a mesenchymal tissue of spermatic cord, testicular components. Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma (SCR) is a variant of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma affecting the paratesticular region of adult patients and is even rarer. Given the limited guidelines available to manage SCR and the rarity of reported cases, our report aims to discuss a new case of this entity in a 66-years old Moroccan patient. Paratesticular SCR is a very rare tumor and requires attention from urologists to consider this entity as differential diagnosis when suspecting malignancies in the urogenital region.
