Imaging of unusual Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcomas

Purpose or Case Report: Rhabdomyosarcomas are heterogeneous group of malignancies of mesenchymal cell origin. It is the commonest pediatric soft-tissue sarcoma, representing 3 – 5 % of all malignancies in childhood.

Imaging provides crucial information early in the diagnosis by defining the exact location of the lesion and offering a differential diagnosis, thereby guiding the subsequent steps of the diagnostic analysis and follow up.

Although these tumors can arise almost anywhere, the most common locations for these tumors to develop are in the structures of the head and neck, the genitourinary tract, and the extremities. Unusual locations are not an infrequent occurance as well the rare and the uncommon behavior of the usual RMS.

In this review, we address the characteristic imaging features, discuss the most appropriate imaging techniques and offer an overview of differential diagnostic consideration of some of the unusual RMS.
