Introduction: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequently occurring intrusive soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric age group. Orbit is the most common location for a pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma, but it can occur in the oral cavity, pharynx, face and neck in the descending order of incidence. Rhabdomyosarcoma in the ear is extremely rare.   Case Report: A 5-year-old girl prese...

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.

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 ...

BACKGROUND Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult is a very rare event with only a few cases published. Diagnosis usually occurs with advanced disease frequently already with metastatic spread. In adults prognosis is very poor, therefore early diagnosis is crucial. To date, only three cases of spindle cell subtype of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult have be...

smNopsis A series of 34 cases of embryonal sarcoma and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit has been placed histologically into three groups according to their maximum degree of differentiation at any stage: (a) embryonal sarcoma, (b) non-striated embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and (c) striated embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The patients were then followed up. This paper presents a summary of the ...

case presentation herein, we reported a case of a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with erms, t1n0m0 stage, localized at the right vocal cord. tumor was successfully treated with a radical excision and selective neck dissection and followed-up for 5 years with no evidence of local recurrence. introduction although embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (erms) represent the most common (50% - 60%) clinical form...

INTRODUCTION Rhabdomyosarcoma has known as a highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma. It has been the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood, accounting for about 3 to 4 % of all cases of childhood cancer. Rhabdomyosarcoma was rare in adults, accounting for 3% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of female genital tract including uterine cervix in an adult was rare. CASE...

We report 5 cases of sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma. The patients included 4 adults and 1 adolescent. In the 5 cases, 3 tumors occurred in the head and neck region and 2 in an extremity. Histologically, all 5 tumors were characterized by the presence of abundant extracellular hyaline matrix, mimicking osteoid or chondroid tissue. They were composed mostly of primitive small round cells that displa...

A comparative study of beta enolase and myoglobin as markers of muscle differentiation in rhabdomyosarcoma was carried out, using an immunoperoxidase peroxidase antiperoxidase technique. Material from 26 cases of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma was studied and subdivided into embryonal and alveolar types. Positive cytoplasmic staining for beta enolase was seen in 85% of tumours studied (91% alveolar...
