Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in infants and children. The peak incidence of rhabdomyosarcoma occurs in children between 2 and 5 years of age, and a second peak is seen in teenagers between 15 and 19 years of age. In the final report of 686 patients from the First Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS), the median age at diagnosis for a child presenting with rhabdomyo...

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common tumour of the lower genitourinary tract in children in the first two decades. Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is associated with a significantly better outcome than lesions elsewhere in the genitourinary tract. Although ultrasound is considered the imaging modality of choice for evaluating intrascrotal pathology, the ultrasound appearance of paratesticular rh...

dren and they are far less frequent in adults. Histologically, they are classified into three subtypes: embryonal, alveolar and pleomorphic. While the head and neck are the principal locations for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma is rare in adults (1). The overall survival is worse for adults than for children (2). The major sites of metastases are lung, bone, bone mar...

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a common malignant soft tissue that frequently involves bone and major neurovascular structures and resection of deep-seated rhabdomyosarcoma can cause severe dysfunction in the affected limbs. Based on the mouse osteosarcoma model, we developed a new surgical approach involving photodynamic surgery (PDS), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiodynamic therapy (RDT) using acrid...

primary sarcoma of the breast is very rare and constitutes less than 1% of all breast cancers. herein, we report a case of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (prms) of the right breast in a 49-year-old female patient presented with a mass (7 cm × 6.5 cm). mammography and ultrasonography suspected a malignant lesion and a diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma was made on fine needle aspiration ...

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.

Introduction: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the commonest soft tissue sarcoma of childhood. The tumour commonly occurs in the body regions of the head and neck, genitourinary and extremities. Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the breast is extremely rare and present diagnostic challenges especially in resource limited centers. It is an aggressive tumour with a poor prognosis especially when diagnosed late. Cas...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the commonest soft sarcoma in kids, with alveolar and embryonal variants distinguishable by histopathology and, more significantly, molecular biology. RMS occurs intermittently a substantial proportion of cases without predisposing condition. Nevertheless, it well established that certain hereditary factors enhance likelihood developing RMS. Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome...

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a rare malignancy with a poor outcome. In this article, we describe a case of ERMS in the paranasal sinuses from a 60-year-old male patient. ERMS derived from the paranasal sinuses is extremely rare. The diagnosis of ERMS must be based on histological findings and immunohistochemical findings. In this case, microscopic observation showed tumor cells were arr...

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 ...
