[A rare case of congenital rhabdomyosarcoma (author's transl)]. 1977

K Foet, and W Prott

A case of a two-weeks-old female infant is reported who was born with an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the size of more than a man's fist that was located in the area of the left half of the face. The tumor provoked an extreme disfiguration by its rapid postpartial growth when metastases had already developed. A palliative operation in order to maintain respiration and nutrition was performed when exitus letalis occured in hemorrhagical shock and consecutive circulatory break-down.

D012208 Rhabdomyosarcoma A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.
