One case of paratesticular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), affected during its evolution by a tumoral thrombus in the inferior vena cava. This unusual association forced the use of a cardiopulmonary by-pass, profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest, in order to carry out complete exeresis of the damage.

Also, revision of the literature emphasizing that today's therapeutical approach for RMS should essentially be multidisciplinary.
