H J Hoekstra, and T Wobbes, and T M Brouwers, and A Postma, and H Schraffordt Koops

This article discusses 2 patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord and presents a survey of the literature and therapeutic methods. In recent years the prognosis of this malignant tumor has improved significantly by virtue of a combination of radical inguinal orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection with supplementary chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.

D012208 Rhabdomyosarcoma A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.
