The most prevalent soft-tissue sarcoma in children is rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), which develops from mesenchymal cells and has an annual incidence of 4–7 cases per million children under the age of 15 [ 1 , 2 ]. Embryonal, alveolar, and spindle cell …

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children (Loeb et al. 2008 ). This aggressive malignant tumor can develop in any part of the body and is thought to have a primitive mesenchymal cell origin, with a propensity for …

Non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTS) are a heterogenous group of tumors that comprise over 35 different histologies and represent 5% of pediatric malignancies in the United States [ 1 ]. A recent study in children and adolescents …

We report four cases of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma treated successfully with multimodality therapy which included surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Our first case was a 2 year old who admitted with the chief complaint of swelling of the …

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common sarcoma of childhood. Fortunately, the goal of cure is realistic for the majority of patients with localized tumors. However, management of these patients remains challenging. The fact that the tumor arises in a …

Optimal management of rhabdomyosarcoma requires establishing the correct pathologic diagnosis, histologic sub-type, primary site, extent of disease (Stage), and extent of resection (Group). Based on these features, cooperative groups in North …

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant soft tissue tumor derived from embryonic primitive mesenchyme that differentiates into striated skeletal muscle and is a rare differential diagnosis in tumors of the head and neck.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant tumor which is thought to originate from the pluripotent mesenchyme. It is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood. This review article summarizes the recent and older published literature and …

In recent reports, investigators have described a variant of adult sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) that is characterized by a hyalinizing, matrix-rich stroma. To determine whether this variant occurs in children, we investigated this phenomenon …

Extratesticular cystic and solid scrotal masses are commonly encountered in pediatrics. The most common extratesticular malignancy is paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. The remainder of the common pathologies encountered -- appendage torsion …

Although rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, primary rhabdomyosarcomas of the ovary are extremely rare, with only eight well-documented pediatric cases previously reported in the literature. We present two …

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) occurs infrequently in the liver and biliary tree. Although the radiological diagnosis may be simple when the tumour involves the extrahepatic bile ducts, no specific imaging features are known for hepatic RMS. We present …

Surgery for large prostate rhabdoyasarcoma in children is a challenging procedure. We discussed the value of pubic symphysiotomy in affected patients. The symphysiotomy approach was used in two children with a large rhabdomyosarcoma of the …

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a soft-tissue malignancy that represents approximately 4–8% of all solid tumours in children and commonly arises from the head and neck and genitourinary system. Intraperitoneal rhabdomyosarcoma, in particular with omental …

Testicular tumors are far more common in adults than in children. For this reason, management of pediatric testis tumors has been based on experience in adults. However, there are important differences between testis tumors occurring in children …
