[Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical observations on alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma]. 1985

Z M Ji

One case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma appearing like an undifferentiated tumor by light microscopy is reported. Specific ultramicroscopic features of sarcomere containing Z line structures, thick and thin myofilaments with hexagonal arrangements in the cross section were noted in the cytoplasm of some individual malignant cells, thus establishing the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma. Some of the tumor cells were positive to peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) immunohistochemical stain of anti-serum by anti-myosin. In the present paper, the ultrastructural features and differential diagnosis of poorly differentiated rhabdomyosarcoma are also discussed.

D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
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.
