Abstract
A 5 yr survivor of disseminated metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma arising from the paratesticular tissues is reported. Each of the 6 patients with paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma treated at this hospital has been free of disease from more than 2 mo. to more than 7 yr. The unusually good prognosis associated with this site may be owing to early detection, predictable pathways of initial lymphatic dissemination and aggressive surgical treatment followed by radiotherapy and multiple agent chemotherapy.
