ABSTRACT
Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (PRMS) is a rare and aggressive soft tissue tumour that can mimic testicular sarcoma on initial imaging studies, leading to diagnostic ambiguity and treatment delays. In this case report, we present the case of a 45-year-old male who came to our department and was evaluated under ultrasound imaging along with colour Doppler. The patient underwent further examination under a multi-slice CT machine, which provided additional information, and finally underwent a 1.5T MRI scan. After a provisional diagnosis was made, the patient underwent surgery, and the specimen was sent for histopathology and relevant immunohistopathological markers. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by PRMS and emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving radiologists, oncologists, and surgeons for timely diagnosis and optimal management. We discuss the clinical implications, imaging characteristics, differential diagnosis, and therapeutic considerations for PRMS to guide clinicians in similar diagnostic dilemmas.
