Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare tumor with an aggressive behavior, described mainly in adulthood. Herein we present two cases of paratesticular pleomorphic RMS in 71- and 16-year-old patients with metastases at initial diagnosis. Histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural findings were essential to confirm diagnosis. Few months after radical orchiectomy, both patients died before or just after starting adjuvant chemotherapy.

Introduction: The cytology features of neoplastic paratesticular lesions are mostly documented as case reports. Thus, we conducted a case report-based literature review to identify the characteristics of paratesticular neoplasms and tried to determine the significance of FNAC in these tumors.
Methods And Materials: The studies were searched using PubMed and Scopus.

Article Synopsis
- Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPLPS) is a rare form of liposarcoma recently added to medical literature, typically arising from adipose tissue in extremities and retroperitoneum.
- Paratesticular liposarcomas are particularly uncommon, and MPLPS often occurs in the mediastinum, but can also affect limbs and regions like the head and neck.
- The case study describes a 50-year-old male with a swelling in the right inguinal area, diagnosed with MPLPS after an orchidectomy and subsequent histopathological analysis, marking the first reported instance of this condition affecting the spermatic cord.

GLI1(12q13.3) amplification is identified in a subset of mesenchymal neoplasms with a distinct nested round cell/epithelioid phenotype. MDM2 and CDK4 genes are situated along the oncogenic 12q13-15 segment, amplification of which defines well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS)/dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS).

Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor that is frequently encountered in elderly patients. The diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis poses a diagnostic challenge due to its infrequency and nonspecific clinical presentation. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining are essential in differentiating this tumor from other para-testicular masses and establishing a definitive diagnosis.

Tumors of the ovarian epithelial type of testis are an infrequent entity. We report a case of borderline serous tumor in an 18-year-old male who presented with a right testicular mass, clinically suspicious of carcinoma. After right inguinal exploration, two pedunculated para-testicular masses were identified in the appendix of the right testis and epididymis.
