Thirty-year review of intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma.
Between 1957 and 1987, 6 cases of intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma were found in the pathology records for Northern Ireland. Four of these tumours arose from paratesticular tissue and 2 were confined to the testis. Only 1 patient has died of his disease. Two were lost to follow-up after 21 years and are presumed cured. The remaining 3 remain alive and disease-free between 2 and 3 1/2 years after presentation.
