Paratesticular rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor, which usually presents as a painless mass in the scrotum or groin. We report the first case of a locally invasive paratesticular rhabdomyoma in a 17-year-old male teenager who presented with chronic scrotal pain. We further review the current literature of this rare tumor.

Rhabdomyomas are benign tumors with skeletal muscle differentiation that are broadly divided into cardiac and extracardiac types. The latter demonstrate a predilection for head and neck and genital locations and are further subclassified into adult-type rhabdomyoma (ATRM), fetal-type rhabdomyoma (FTRM) and genital rhabdomyoma (GRM). Most extracardiac rhabdomyomas that arise in paratesticular tissues have a somewhat distinctive morphology and have been termed sclerosing rhabdomyomas (SRM).

Extracardiac rhabdomyomas, which currently are classified into fetal, adult, and genital types, are rare. We have identified 7 cases of a distinct morphologic variant of rhabdomyoma that affects mainly young men in the paratesticular region, seen in consultation between 2001 and 2011. The 7 male patients were adults (median age 24 y) and presented with tumors in paratesticular soft tissue (4 left-sided, 3 right-sided).
