Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common form of soft tissue sarcoma in the first 2 decades of life, with a peak age incidence in very young children. Due to the rarity of adult RMS, information regarding its clinical and biologic characteristics is very limited. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. It is seen rarely in adults. There are three variants of RMS which include embryonal and alveolar variants which are commonly seen in children and pleomorphic variant seen in adults. The prognosis of the tumor is worse in adults when compared to children, with an overall 5-year survival of less than 30%. Keywords: Rhabdomyosarcoma, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, Gluteal tumor
