Abstract

Paratesticular rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor, which usually presents as a painless mass in the scrotum or groin. We report the first case of a locally invasive paratesticular rhabdomyoma in a 17-year-old male teenager who presented with chronic scrotal pain. We further review the current literature of this rare tumor.
