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

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
