Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare neoplasm mainly affecting young males and typically located in the abdomen. Prognosis is generally very poor. We report a rare case of paratesticular DSRCT in a 17-year-old boy, presenting with an isolated left scrotal mass. The patient had an ex

## Background: Desmoplastic small round cell tumour (dsrct) is a rare highly aggressive neoplasm, and clinical studies are scarce. ## Procedure: We report six cases of children and adolescents (median age 14 years, range 6.9-17.5) with dsrct (5 abdominal, 1 paratesticular) registered by the itali
## Background: The identification of recently described nonrandom chromosomal defects specific for various small round-cell and spindle-cell sarcomas can eliminate diagnostic uncertainty arising from the clinical and histopathologic overlap of soft tissue neoplasms. ## Methods: A 26-year-old man
## BACKGROUND. Desmoplastic small round-cell tumor has been identified as a neoplasm with multidirectional immunohistochemical differentiation. The combination of topographic, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of this tumor sets it apart as a pathologic entity. The optimal t
Background. The EWS gene, a transcription factor of unknown function, is involved in chromosomal translocations associated with a wide variety of tumors, particularly small round blue cell tumors such as Ewing sarcoma. It has previously been reported that desmoplastic small round blue cell tumor (DS
