Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Case Report on A 2 Months-Old Infant
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive malignant neoplasma of the musculoskeletal system that represents 50% of all soft tissue sarcoma in children. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, while the majority of rhabdomyosarcoma cases occurs in children under the age of 6 years old, RMS is uncommon in infants. Since there is no clear evidence that the biology of RMS itself is different in infants, the reason for a poorer prognosis is unclear. This case report aims to further examine the pathological features, diagnosis and treatment for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. We present a case of a 2 months-old infant with post biopsy inci- sion 12 days prior to hospital admission which is then reffered to the oncologist for further obser- vation. An anatomy pathological examination was done, observed from a 2 x 0,5 x 0,5 brown firm sample which was then revealed as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
