+A 36-year-old man, with no past history of interest, was seen in the internal medicine department for presenting a painful left inguinoscrotal mass on palpation of two months' duration, without weight loss or micturition syndrome.
+On examination, the testicles were of normal size and consistency, with an indurated and very painful left spermatic cord. Testicular ultrasound was normal. Abdomen-pelvis CT scan revealed a mass measuring 6 x 3 centimetres in the trajectory of the left spermatic cord, with no evidence of retroperitoneal involvement. With the diagnosis of a left paratesticular tumour, he underwent surgery, a mass was found in the spermatic cord and an intraoperative biopsy was performed, which was reported as a neoplastic proliferation of non-lymphomatous myofibroblastic appearance, for which a radical left orchiectomy was performed. Pathology was pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord, normal testis and epididymis and negative resection margins.

+Subsequently, the patient received several cycles of chemotherapy with adriamycin and ifosfamide + MESNA. In the control imaging tests four months after surgery, no tumour recurrence was observed.
