title: Adult paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as acute intestinal obstruction-a case report.
abstract: Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare intrascrotal tumor localized in the tunica vaginalis, epididymis, or spermatic cord. We report one such case in a 19-year-old man presenting with painless scrotal mass and features of acute intestinal obstruction. On exploratory laparotomy, a small nodule in sigmoid mesentery was found to be the cause of obstruction. The nodule was excised and orchidectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of both the specimens revealed features of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy but died after 3 months.
