Primary paratesticular sarcoma is a very rare type of cancer that develops in the paratesticular region, which includes the tissues surrounding the testicle such as the spermatic cord, epididymis, and supportive soft tissues. Unlike testicular cancer that arises from the testicle itself, paratesticular sarcomas originate from connective tissues in this area.
They can occur in both children and adults, but most cases are seen in middle-aged men. Because of their location, these tumours are often mistaken for more common scrotal conditions like hernias or hydroceles.
Many sufferers of Primary paratesticular sarcoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Primary paratesticular sarcoma. We have recently created an Primary paratesticular sarcoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
