ABSTRACT

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) may arise from anywhere in the body, and RMS has been recognized as one of the most frequent forms of childhood solid tumors, occurring with a frequency similar to that of Wilms' tumors and neuroblastomas. However, RMS arising in the paratesticular region is rare so that an ultrasound appearance of paratesticular RMS has rarely been reported. We report the US findings of paratesticular embryonal RMS in 15 and 19 year old males.
