Abstract

Paratesticular rabdomyosarcoma (PR), the most frequently occurring paratesticular tumor, is encountered mostly in young and middleaged men. PR metastasizes early and is characterized by lymphogenic dissemination of the tumor with affection of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Orchofuniculectomy is the first-line treatment in all the patiens. If the patient is metastases-free it is followed by preventive retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy with subsequent adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. In disseminated PR, combined treatment is indicated including surgical removal of metastatic foci and adjuvant chemo- or chemoradiotherapy. If surgical removal of all the tumor foci is infeasible, patients with disseminated PR undergo chemotherapy. Radiation of metastatic retroperitoneal lymph nodes is uneffective. Prognosis of PR depends on the age, stage of the disease and treatment.
