Bone Marrow Metastasis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma

Pancreatic Metastasis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Presenting as Acute Pancreatitis

Metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma to the bone marrow mimicking acute leukemia.

A 17-year-old female with history of a left cheek alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) status after 14 cycles of vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide presented 2 months after the last drug cycle with bruising, thrombocytopenia, and anemia (white blood cell count 3.4 109/L, hemoglobin 7.1 g/dL, platelets 8 109/L). The peripheral blood smear demonstrated normocytic anemia with nucleated re...

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma infiltrating bone marrow at presentation: the value to diagnosis of bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens.

AIMS To describe the histological appearances of bone marrow infiltrated with rhabdomyosarcoma at presentation and to determine their value in establishing the diagnosis. METHODS Patients presenting over seven years in the northern health region of England with rhabdomyosarcoma were studied. Bone marrow aspirates and trephine biopsy specimens taken at presentation were examined. RESULTS Sev...

EUS diagnosis of a primary pancreatic metastasis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.

CONTEXT Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma are rare malignancies. These lesions typically metastasize to the lungs, liver, and bone marrow. Pancreatic metastases from alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma are exceptionally uncommon. CASE REPORT An 18-year-old man with a history of right orbital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, which had been treated with neoadjuvant therapy, surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy developed ...

Bone marrow metastases by alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a 31-year-old patient.

I n March 2012, a 31-year-old male patient was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) manifesting within the left sinus maxillaris with local lymphonodular metastases. No further metastases could be found by positron emission tomography–magnetic resonance imaging. He was treated by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and consecutive radical endonasal resection and reconstruction in July 2012. In...
