BACKGROUND Congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an extremely uncommon and invariably fatal tumor with the current therapy. Less than 25% of patients present with evidence of cutaneous metastasis. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in an 18-month-old male who presented with a progressively increasing mass lesion in the left post-auricular region since...

Rhabdomyosarcoma is extremely rare in adults, but is the most common extra cranial solid tumor in children. Rhabdomyosarcoma in adults is a heterogeneous disease, with different form of presentation, histology, and prognosis and with difficulty in its treatment due to the rarity of the disease. Here we briefly review the literature on adult rhabdomyosarcoma and present the case of a 39-year-old...

Rhabdomyosarcoma, the most common soft tissue malignancy of childhood, is a morphologically variable tumor defined by its phenotype of skeletal muscle differentiation. The diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma often relies in part on the identification of myogenic gene expression using immunohistochemical or molecular techniques. However, these techniques show imperfect sensitivity and specificity, par...

OBJECTIVES To review the treatment outcome of rhabdomyosarcoma in Hong Kong Chinese children. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Consecutive cases of rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed and treated by the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine of Queen Mary Hospital between 1989 and 2005. Each patient was staged and treated according t...

abstract background: rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma among children which has two major subtypes: embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (erms) and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (arms). distinction between these subtypes is mandatory to choose proper treatment and to determine prognosis. histopathologic study is the main method, but nowadays molecular studies like pcr are also used. the...

BACKGROUND Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of the skeletal muscle cells. Those tumors mainly affect children and arise in primitive fetal mesenchyme even at sites that do not contain skeletal muscle. However, very few intracranial rhabdomyosarcomas have been reported. No previous case of primary intrasellar rhabdomyosarcoma except for 1 case has been reported in the literature. CASE DES...

Resistance of rhabdomyosarcoma to current therapies remains one of the key issues in pediatric oncology. Since the success of most cytotoxic therapies in the treatment of cancer, for example, chemotherapy, depends on intact signaling pathways that mediate programmed cell death (apoptosis), defects in apoptosis programs in cancer cells may result in resistance. Evasion of apoptosis in rhabdomyos...

background: nasal continuous positive airway pressure (ncpap) is an effective method of ventilation in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (rds). using an appropriate nasal skin care protocol is identical to prevention or reduction of nasal skin breakdown in those who receive ncpap. this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical care protocol on nasal sk...
