Abstract

Abstract : ABSTRACT: The history and physical examination of an adolescent male are critical to early detection of scrotal abnormalities. Although rare, paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma grows quickly and can be life-threatening. This article focuses on the importance of prompt recognition, diagnosis, and appropriate management of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in an adolescent.
