Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the typical tumors of childhood and adolescence, representing over 50% of soft tissue sarcomas in those age groups. Soft tissue sarcomas make up > 1% of all adult malignancies, and RMS represents 3% of all soft tissue sarcomas. The most well-known primary tumor sites incorporate the head and neck district (35%), trailed by the genitourinary and extremity primaries. Intraabdominal rhabdomyosarcoma is still rarer in adult population. A 61 years old male patient presented with complain of lump in right iliac fossa associated with burning pain but not associated with vomiting, nausea or loose motion or intestinal obstruction. CECT abdomen suggested retroperitonum tumor on right side below the level of kidney extending to midline and inferiorly below level of common iliac bifurcation & encasing the right common iliac & origin of external iliac artery and The infrarenal IVC & right mid ureter are compressed & completely encased by mass lesion. CT guided biopsy suggested Rhabdomyosarcoma, spindal cell type. Rarity of this disease and location prompted us to report this case & review of literature. Our own is most likely the third instance of intra abdominal retroperitoneal rhabdomyosarcoma reported in literature.
