“…Ultrasound is the primary examination modality in the diagnosis of testicular tumours, having the characteristics of non-invasiveness and high accuracy. However, rhabdomyosarcoma of the testis lacks speci c ultrasound features [10], and it is di cult to distinguish rhabdomyosarcoma from other germ cell tumours of the testis, especially when it is complicated with orchitis and epididymitis. It can be characterized by heterogeneous echoes and increased blood supply, which it makes it di cult to identify in the early stage.…”

Background Spontaneous rupture of testicular rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare. We report a case of spontaneous testicular rupture that was pathologically confirmed as rhabdomyosarcoma with unilateral blepharoptosis. Case presentation: a 19-year-old male and his father had weakness of the left eyelid muscle ,who was suspicion diagnosed right inguinal hernia by the family doctor without further treatment ,Two days later, there was skin itching in the right inguinal area, with redness, swelling and discomfort of the right scrotum, and he went to the local hospital again,Ultrasound examination showed that the contusion of the right testis may have been complicated with orchitis,oral levofloxacin was invalid.scrotal enlargement significantly increased, He came to the emergency room of our hospital the patient was treated with levofloxacin, but the pain was not relieved,CT and Ultrasound examination cannot defined the cause of the disease,the exploration of the right scrotum, which was performed under general anaesthesia and comfirmed the right testis was spontaneous rupture,The pathological diagnosis was rhabdomyosarcoma of the right testis. Conclusion Testicular rhabdomyosarcoma is clinically rare, and spontaneous rupture is even more rare. The pathogenesis of the disease needs to be further studied, and the diagnosis is made on a case-by-case basis. Overall, the prognosis is poor. As seen by this case, whether there is some association between testicular rhabdomyosarcoma and ptosis needs further study. unfortunately,

“…[8] ITRMS clinically presents as painless intrascrotal mass which may progress for a few weeks and become painful in rare occasions. [9] The tumor can be confused with conditions like epididymoorchitis, testicular torsion, scrotal abscess, strangulated hernia and rarely testicular tuberculosis. [10] Usually, ITRMS patients have a slow growing intrascrotal mass for the first six months before diagnosis.…”

Primary malignant of tumours of the testis are rare in children. Tumours of germ cell origin account for 60-77% of primary testicular tumors. Intrascrotal tumours of nongerm cell origin are rare. Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are the commonest tumours among nongerm cell tumours. RMS are more commonly seen in paratesticular region. Pure testicular RMS are rare. A 16 yr boy was evaluated right sided testicular mass. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed it to be an anaplastic embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Here we report this case with a brief review of literature.

Spontaneous rupture of testicular rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare. We report a case of spontaneous testicular rupture that was pathologically confirmed as rhabdomyosarcoma with unilateral blepharoptosis. The patient, a 19-year-old male, and his father had weakness of the left eyelid muscle. The patient was suspected to have a right inguinal hernia by a family doctor but was not treated further. 2 days later, there was skin itching in the right inguinal area, accompanied by redness, swelling and discomfort of the right scrotum, and the patient went to the local hospital again. Ultrasound examination showed that a contusion of the right testis may have been complicated with orchitis. Oral levofloxacin was ineffective. In addition, the swelling of scrotal increased significantly. He came to the emergency room of our hospital and also was treated with levofloxacin, but the pain was still not relieved. CT and ultrasound examination could not identify the cause of the disease. Exploration of the right scrotum was performed under general anesthesia and confirmed that the right testis had spontaneously ruptured. The pathological diagnosis was rhabdomyosarcoma of the right testis. Testicular rhabdomyosarcoma is clinically rare, and spontaneous rupture is even rarer. The pathogenesis of the disease needs to be further studied, and the diagnosis should be made on a case-by-case basis. Overall, the prognosis of testicular rhabdomyosarcoma is poor. As seen in this case, further study is required to determine whether there is some association between testicular rhabdomyosarcoma and ptosis. Unfortunately, the patient's family rejected a genetic examination because of financial difficulty. We only report a single case of this rare phenomenon here.
