Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. Case reports.
During the 30-year period 1955-1984, 9 cases of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma were seen in the pathology departments of the University of Cape Town, including the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital. Three of these patients were lost to follow-up; 2 were alive at 6 months and 6 years after presentation. Two patients absconded with clinical disease and are presumed dead and 2 died of disease 6 and 18 months after presentation. Although rhabdomyosarcoma is known to be a disease of the young, none of the patients in this series was in the first decade of life and only 3 were below 20 years of age.
