A 15 years old male presented with painless right testicular swelling who underwent high inguinal orchidectomy and left testis appeared normal. Complete blood count , Serum alpha- fetoprotein (1ng/ml) and Beta Human chorionic gonadotropin(<2.39) are with in normal limits.X-ray{chest}reveals multiple variable sized nodules in bilateral lungs with right hilar lymphadenopathy.?Metastasis.HR-USG (scrotum) reveals ill-defined lobulated , heterogeneously hypoechoic, soft tissue mass with increased internal vascularity in the right scrotal region with multiple enlarged lymphnodes suggestive of neoplastic etiology. On histopathology diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma –Right testis was made., have aggressive growth pattern. The optimal management of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma remains unclear because of the rarity of the disease in adults.Radical orchidectomy with negative surgical margins followed by RPLND and chemotherapy is the recommended treatment. For the control of local recurrence and metastasis radiotherapy is recommended.The purpose of this article is to report a case of 15 years old male with primary intratesticular rhabdomyasarcoma which is very rare and our best knowledge few cases have been reported in the literature till now.
