Abstract
|
|
|
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor of the striated muscle. It is most common occurrence in the later decades of the life and involves often on the upper and lower extre mities, head, neck, and genitourinary system.
Though the clinical report of rhabdomyosarcoma was very few in this country, we have experienced three ceses, who were proved by means of surgery or biopsy during the past one year. Two cases were male and one was female. Two of them ranged 5060 at the age, but one was 30.
Two cases of them noticed progressive weight loss, indigestion and upper abdominal pain associated with palpated masses and the rest of them noted left lower abdominal pain and diffuse swelling of left leg.
One case received surgical laparotomy which showed the smooth encapsulated adult fist size mass attatched to the psoas muscle, being unable to excise because of massive adhesion, and biopsy was made for some it´s tissue and neighboring mesenteric lymph nodes. The other two cases were proved as peripheral lymph node biopsy alone.
Histopathology of the tumor or lymph node was composed of highly cellular and pleomorphic cellular mass and tumor cells disclosed pertinent character of rhabdomyosarcoma without the exact presence of the cross striation.
