Paratesticular soft tissue sarcomas are very rare malignant mesenchymal tumors. With only few cases reported in the literature, data regarding diagnostic and management of these tumors are limited. We reported a case of primary paratesticular leiomyosarcoma in a 72-year-old man complaining of a progressively growing painless right scrotal mass. The patient underwent radical inguinal right orchiectomy and adjuvant 3D conformal radiotherapy to the tumor bed including the surgical scar. The prescription dose was 54 Gy, and no pelvic irradiation was performed. He remained free of recurrence for the last 16 months.

Analysis of Genitourinary Rhabdomyosarcoma in Phase 3 clinical trials.
World J Urol

Department of Urology, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Box 668, Rochester, NY, 14642, USA.
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.

Article Synopsis
- Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare type of cancer, primarily found in genitourinary tissues, commonly linked to the SS18::SSX gene fusion, and its paratesticular occurrence is extremely uncommon, with only 4 documented cases prior to this study.
- This research details the characteristics and genetic profile of the largest cohort of paratesticular SS patients, analyzing data from 14 individuals aged 15 to 47, all of whom underwent surgical removal of the tumors and some received chemotherapy.
- The findings indicate a generally poor prognosis for paratesticular SS even after aggressive treatment, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic methods to differentiate it from similar conditions, and supporting the use of SS18-SS

Article Synopsis
- Desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT) is a rare and aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma noted for its specific genetic characteristics, predominantly occurring in the abdominal cavity.
- While primary DSRCTs in the male genital system are extremely uncommon, this study presents two unique cases of primary DSRCT found in the prostate.
- The cases illustrated distinct morphological features and immunohistochemical profiles, expanding knowledge on the distribution of DSRCT and emphasizing its potential presence in prostate cancer diagnoses.
