title: [Paratesticular neoplasms of mesenchymatous origin. Clinico-pathologic study].
abstract: There is a group of malignant intrascrotal tumours which represent a very small number when compared to testicular neoplasias and which are known as paratesticular neoplasias. More than 90% belong to the sarcomatous species. From a clinical point of view and based on the patient's age, two groups can be distinguished: sarcomas affecting children and adolescents (primarily rabdomiosarcomas) and those occurring in adulthood, the more frequent histopathological variants being fibrosarcoma, leiomiosarcoma and liposarcoma. This work contributes five paratesticular sarcomas (two rabdomiosarcomas, one liposarcoma, one leiomiosarcoma and one fibrosarcoma). The features related to histogenesis, diagnosis (revealing signs and clinical examination), natural history (dissemination routes based on histopathology) and treatment are reported. With regard to treatment, both the local surgery (total orchiectomy by inguinoscrotal approach with or without hemiscrotectomy), and indications for lymphadenectomy and radiotherapy in relation to staging are discussed though insisting on the chemotherapy approach.
