Purpose: Genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma (GU-RMS) often requires multimodal therapy treatment including radiation, chemotherapy, and radical surgery for disease control. The long-term effects of the disease and associated treatments are unclear. We sought to investigate the long-term genitourinary quality of life for adult survivors of pediatric GU-RMS.

Purpose: Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a morbid and often lethal condition characterized by a paucity of clinical data. Beyond a detailed risk categorization system, it is unclear if genitourinary (GU) sites (bladder/prostate, paratesticular, female organs) have outcomes distinct from non-GU sites. This study pools primary data from phase-3 clinical trials involving pediatric RMS to evaluate this question.

Alveolar Paratesticular Rhabdomyosarcoma in an Adult Patient With PAX3-FOXO1 Fusion and Unfavorable Evolution.

Rhabdomyosarcomas, malignant mesenchymal tumors of skeletal striated muscle tissue cells, are usually rare in adults. However, when they occur in this population, the prognosis is usually poor, especially if the condition is associated with molecular factors such as the PAX3-FOXO1 fusion. Here, We report a case of paratesticular alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult patient who initially complained of increased scrotal volume for two years and presented with a PAX3-FOXO1 fusion.

How Many Lymph Nodes are Enough in Paratesticular Rhabdomyosarcoma?

Background: Treatment strategies for paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (PT RMS) are based on stage, which requires accurate lymph node (LN) evaluation. Previous methodology for determining quantity of LN for negative nodal status is based on LN positivity rates, without accounting for the relationship between LNs or amongst patients. This study aims to quantify the chance of missing involved LNs based on LN yield (LNY) using a previously established methodology in comparison to current recommendations.

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.
