primary rhabdomyosarcoma (rms) of the kidney is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor with an aggressive clinical course. adult renal rms is typically a pleomorphic histologic subtype and only a few cases have ever been reported. we herein present a new case of renal rms of the embryonal histologic subtype in a 26-year-old woman.

congenital or neonatal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare entity, usually presenting as masses in the head and neck region as well as genitourinary tract. the embryonal variant is the most common type occurring in infancy. this is a case of congenital rhabdomyosarcoma with a huge forearm mass, with metastatic discrete nodules in the soft tissues of the neck and scapular region, resembling a ‘blueberry ...

smNopsis A series of 34 cases of embryonal sarcoma and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit has been placed histologically into three groups according to their maximum degree of differentiation at any stage: (a) embryonal sarcoma, (b) non-striated embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and (c) striated embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The patients were then followed up. This paper presents a summary of the ...

case presentation herein, we reported a case of a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with erms, t1n0m0 stage, localized at the right vocal cord. tumor was successfully treated with a radical excision and selective neck dissection and followed-up for 5 years with no evidence of local recurrence. introduction although embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (erms) represent the most common (50% - 60%) clinical form...

BACKGROUND Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult is a very rare event with only a few cases published. Diagnosis usually occurs with advanced disease frequently already with metastatic spread. In adults prognosis is very poor, therefore early diagnosis is crucial. To date, only three cases of spindle cell subtype of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult have be...

In order to test the hypothesis that embryonal carcinoma cells are multipotential stem cells of a teratocarcinoma, an in vivo cloning technic was designed. Small embryoid bodies containing mostly embryonal carcinoma were obtained from ascitic con version of a murine teratocarcinoma and were dissociated with trypsin to form a sus pension of single cells; the single cells were picked up in small ...

Introduction: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequently occurring intrusive soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric age group. Orbit is the most common location for a pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma, but it can occur in the oral cavity, pharynx, face and neck in the descending order of incidence. Rhabdomyosarcoma in the ear is extremely rare.   Case Report: A 5-year-old girl prese...

Embryonal cell carcinoma affects young males in the prime of their life with majority of tumours already having metastasised at the time of diagnosis. Subcutaneous metastasis from embryonal carcinoma is rare and is associated with widespread disease and poor prognosis. We report a case of 22-year-old male who presented with haemoptysis and skin nodules. Fine needle aspiration cytology of skin n...
