Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma Presenting as Lung Metastasis in an Adult: An Uncommon Presentation

Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas of adolescents and young adults. Histologically, rhabdomyosarcoma is classified into embryonal, alveolar, pleomorphic, and spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcomas with further subcategorization. More than 50% of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma occur within head and neck. The retroperitoneum and pelvis are less common sites of involvement. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas affect mainly, but not exclusively, children between birth and 15 years of age.… Show more

“…Histopathologically, RMS is categorized into embryonal, pleomorphic, alveolar, and mixed subtypes [ 2 ]. Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) in children is commonly reported, especially in the head and neck, which accounts for more than half of RMS incidences, while encountering of adult ERMS in those areas is very unlikely with only 9.3% of all adult ERMSs occurring in the head and neck regions [ 3 , 4 ]. An even rarer incidence of adult ERMS is the appearance of the disease inside the nasal chambers, with only a few reported cases in the literature.…”
