Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a dog confirmed using myogenin immunohistochemistry: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large mass from the right forelimb of a five-year-old, male, Maltese dog, was resected surgically and examined histopathologically. Grossly, the 4 × 6 cm mass was well-demarcated and firm. Microscopically, the mass was characterised by neoplastic mononuclear cells with large round hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm. The neoplastic tumour cells were separated by thick or thin collagen septa and were arranged in an alveolar pattern forming cell nests. Immunohistochemical detections of the tumour revealed positive reactions for vimentin, desmin and myogenin, but the tumour was negative for alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), S-100, CD3, CD79a, CD68, cytokeratin 8 (CK8) and cytokeratin 18 (CK18). These results showed that the tumour cells originated from skeletal muscle; therefore, the tumour was diagnosed as an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.

Rhabdomyosarcomas are among the most common soft-tissue tumors in children. These tumors are derived from mesenchymal tissue with a tendency toward myogenic differentiation that probably originates from immature and highly invasive satellite cells associated with the embryogenesis of skeletal muscle. Some of these tumors are associated with high rates of recurrence and metastasis. The diagnosis...

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm and the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. The current frontline treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma is a multi-modal approach, comprising chemotherapy, surgical resection, and/or radiation therapy. Radiation therapy during odontogenesis can lead to delayed sequel such as hypodontia, microdontia, and dwarfed teeth with underdeveloped roots. This cas...
