Cited in Scopus: 0Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. The tumor spreads by local extension, to regional lymph nodes, or by distant metastases. Metastatic spread to the testicle has been rarely described. The authors describe 2 boys who were found to have intratesticular metastases after presenting with primary tumors in their extremities. The first patient, an 11-year-old boy presented with primary disease in his left foot and an enlarged testicle. Rhabdomyosarcoma was found histologically in both the foot and the testicle.
