We report a case of intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma in a 59-year-old-male. The patient with a mass in the right scrotum was at first diagnosed with epididymitis and treated with antibiotics. The mass however, grew gradually and right orchiectomy revealed intrascrotal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Para-aortic lymph node metastasis was pointed out by abdominal computed tomography. He received multidrug chemotherapy consisting of vincristine, actinomycin-D, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, and cisplatin (IRS-III regimen 35). A complete response was obtained 3 months after the start of the chemotherapy. The patient is alive without recurrence 2 years after the surgery.
