Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare non germ cell tumour of scrotal sac in children and young adult/teens which can invade testis at p...

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a life-threatening syndrome that generally occurs as a complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or, less commonly, after conventional chemotherapy. Regarding SOS in rhabdomyosarcoma patients who received conventional chemotherapy, the doses of chemotherapeutic agents are associated with the development of SOS. Several cases of S...

Rhabdomyosarcoma encompasses a group of malignant myogenic neoplasms expressing a multitude of clinical and pathological diversities. It is the commonest soft tissue sarcoma of childhood but neonates are rarely affected. Embryonal subtype is the most frequent. Head-neck and genitourinary tracts are predominant sites, while trunk is considered among the unusual sites of rhabdomyosarcoma. Herein ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the performance of three different advanced treatment techniques on a group of complex paediatric cancer cases. METHODS CT images and volumes of interest of five patients were used to design plans for Helical Tomotherapy (HT), RapidArc (RA) and Intensity Modulated Proton therapy (IMP). The tumour types were: extraosseous, intrathoracic Ewing Sarcoma; mediastinal Rhabdom...

rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adult and children that accompany with skeletal muscle differentiation. skin metastasis of rhabdomyosarcomas is unusual and has only been sporadically reported in literature. in this paper we present a case of skin metastasis of rhabdomyosarcoma in an 8-year-old girl that has treated with chemotherapy.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the second most common malignant tumor of the heart in infants and children and cannot often be resected completely. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a critical role in relieving symptoms and prolonging survival; therefore, enhancing the sensitivity of rhabdomyosarcoma to radiotherapy is an important area of investigation in order to improve the prognosis of patients. It h...

Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma is a unique rhabdomyosarcoma variant, characterized by a prominent hyalinizing matrix. A notable pitfall is the potential for the unusual matrix and often pseudovascular growth pattern of this lesion to lead to confusion with other sarcoma types, including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and angiosarcoma. Here we report a case of sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma arising in ...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in children. The aim of study was to retrospectively review the treatment results of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma and identify prognostic factors. 60 children with rhabdomyosarcoma treated between 1996 and 2002 in Shafa Hospital were reviewed. The data were analyzed for clinico-epidemiological factors. Age, gender, race, histology ty...
