AI Article Synopsis
- A rare tumor originating from skeletal muscle was found in the tunica vaginalis of the testis of a 19-year-old male.
- Histological analysis revealed elongated or round cells with noticeable cross striations, alongside mature connective tissue, which indicates it is a genital rhabdomyoma.
- The diagnosis was further confirmed through immunohistochemical and electron microscopic examinations, highlighting the need to consider rhabdomyoma when diagnosing paratesticular tumors.
Article Abstract
A case of an unusual tumor of skeletal muscle origin is described. The tumor was located in the tunica vaginalis of the testis in a 19-year-old man. Histologic examination showed a proliferation of elongated or round cells, with clearly discernible cross striations, surrounded by abundant mature connective tissue, consistent with genital rhabdomyoma. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic features supported this diagnosis. Rhabdomyoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of paratesticular tumors.
