Article Abstract
A 19-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of swelling of the left inguinal region. A thumb head-sized tumor was palpated through the skin on the left spermatic cord. Tumor resection was performed because it was dissected easily apart from the left spermatic cord. Pathological examination revealed alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with positive surgical margin. Computed tomographic scanning revealed no retroperitoneal lymph node swelling, and there were no clinical findings of distant metastasis (clinical stage I). Radical inguinal orchiectomy with combined chemotherapy using vincristine, dactinomycin, and ifosfamide (VAI) was performed. He has been alive without any recurrence for 8 years and 8 months after the surgery.
