title: Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in childhood: experience of the Italian Cooperative Study.
abstract: The authors report the experience of the Italian Cooperative Study AIEOP-CNR RMS-79 concerning 16 children affected by localized paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (15 stage I, 1 stage II). The good results obtained by multidisciplinary treatment suggest a less aggressive approach as regards retroperitoneal lymph node biopsy and chemotherapy.
