| Abstract: | A case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in an 18-year-old male is reported. The patient was admitted for swelling of the right scrotum and right inguinal pain. Malignant tumor of the right testis was suspected and a high inguinal orchiectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma.
