Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the commonest soft tissue sarcoma in both children and adolescentsrepresenting 40% of such tumours in North America and more than 50% in Africa. The involvement of the paratesticular tissue, testis and the kidney are generally rare and more so when it is occurring synchronously. We present a case of 22 year old male with inguinoscrotal swelling,fever and abdominal distention who was diagnosed as having obstructed left inguinoscrotal herniaand a right renal mass. The patient had surgery, and a diagnosis of synchronous rhabdomyosarcoma of the left testis, paratesticular tissue and right kidney was made by histology and immunohistochemistry.
