{Abstract}: The majority of patients with paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) present in the pediatric age group with a unilateral, painless, palpable scrotum mass. By contrast, cases of RMS presenting as painful edema are rare. We present a case of alveolar paratesticular RMS in a 30-year-old man who had been suffering from a painful swelling of the scrotum on the left side for two years and a preceding mass four months before visiting the clinic. Complete resection of the left epididymal mass was performed through a left inguinal incision. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the mass revealed alveolar RMS of the paratesticular region. Urologists should be aware that paratesticular RMS may present in adults with atypical symptoms such as scrotal pain and edema, especially in those who do not respond to antibiotics. Hence, such patients should have an additional evaluation.
