Özet

Clinical Practice Points • What is already known about this topic? Paratesticular spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an extremely rare histological subtype of soft tissue sarcoma in adults. Most available data come from pediatric populations, and adult cases are limited to sporadic case reports. Due to its rarity, there is no consensus on the optimal management strategy for adult patients. • What this study adds? This case report presents a rare adult patient with paratesticular spindle cell RMS, highlighting the diagnostic challenges, pathological features, and treatment course, including surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. By comparing this case with previously reported adult cases in the literature, this study provides valuable insights into prognosis and therapeutic approaches for this uncommon entity in adults.
