Abstract
Paratesticular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor with only 24 reported cases in the literature. It is usually seen in children and adolescents presenting as a painless testicular mass. Hereby, we report a 15-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with testicular ERMS during exploratory surgery after testicular trauma. Diagnostic modalities include radiological imaging, histopathological examination, and immunohistochemical analysis. Treatment consists of radical inguinal orchiectomy followed by postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which has shown promising outcomes in managing this type of tumor.
