Rhabdomyosarcoma of T H E Diaphragm a Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Although secondary tumors of the diaphragm are fairly common, primary tumors in that location are rare, Binney ( 1 ) was able to find only four cases in the literature of the fifty-year period prior to 1931. Of these four, one was a benign fibromyoma, one a fibromyosarcoma, one a (( round-cell sarcoma,” and one a lipoma. Two of the four were found at operation and two at autopsy . I n 1932 Burvill-Holmes and Brody ( 2 ) reported the autopsy findings in a case of primary angiofibroma of the diaphragm which was considered benign; the patient also had pulmonary tuberculosis. Kirshbaum ( 3 ) reported two cases in 1935, one a rhabdomyosarcoma and the other a leiomyosarcoma. He also found one additional case in the literature, a myoblastic sarcoma reported by Muller. We have been able to find only one example reported since Kirshbaum’s paper appeared. This was a lipoma of the pleural aspect of the diaphragm, which Soderlund (4) was able to diagnose by means of x-ray and thoracoscopy. The tumor was successfully removed and the patient was relieved of the pain in the side which caused her to seek medical advice. It would appear, then, that there are in all 9 cases of primary tumor of the diaphragm recorded, of which 5 were malignant. Most of the reported cases occurred in females in the fourth decade of life (3) . The following report adds another case to the literature, the patient being apparently the youngest on record.
