[Rhabdomyosarcoma of the epididymis].

A 5-year-old boy with intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma arising from the epididymis is described. The patient was submitted to radical orchidectomy via the inguinal approach and high ligation of the spermatic cord. The anatomopathological examination revealed germ cell rhabdomyosarcoma of the epididymis with no testicular or spermatic cord involvement, which corresponded to stage I of the IRS classification (Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study). Its clinical and histological features and treatment are discussed.

[Epithelioid sarcoma].

A description is given of an epithelioid sarcoma observed in a male patient of 71 years of age. This two-year growth was located in the right leg and presented a clinical picture of a hard walled ulcer. After having been removed surgically the tumour reappeared after seven months at which point amputation was practised at the middle thigh. The patient died twelve months after amputation suffering from pleuropulmonary metastasis. An necropsy was not carried out. The finding of massive arterial neoplastic thrombosis in the histological study confirms the fatal outcome of the patient. The clinical, histological, evolutive and therapeutic characteristics of the epithelioid sarcoma are reviewed.
