Show more. It overlaps morphologically with spindle cell RMS and poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges because of its rarity and aggressive clinical course. It is classified into 3 histologic subtypes (embryonal, alveolar, and pleomorphic) by their unique characteristics, with the embryonal type comprising most of these cases. However, we cannot answer medical or research questions or give advice. small round blue cell tumor ; skeletal muscle-like cross-striations can occur; based on the stage of neoplastic cell development; Alveolar We present four cases of ssRMS and 16 a … Sixteen cases of spindle cell RMS occurring in adults were retrieved from our files.

Spindle Cell Rhabdomyosarcoma: Located in the paratesticular region (rarely head & neck region).Characterized by eosinophilic spindle cells arranged in a fascicular or storiform pattern. 2. Epidemiology There may be increased male predilection. The image shows spindle cell/sclerosing RMS in an adult. Differential diagnosis: Nerve sheath tumour, leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma. Skeletal. Only isolated cases in adulthood have been described. The spindle cell subtype of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for 3% of all cases. Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare subtype of RMS with unique prominent stromal hyalinization and a pseudovascular architecture. In adults prognosis is very poor, therefore early diagnosis is crucial. Its genetic hallmark remains unknown and it remains debatable if there is pathogenetic relationship between the spindle cell and the so‐called sclerosing RMS.

So far, no recurrent genetic alteration has been identified in the adult form of spindle cell RMS. metaplastic carcinoma. In children and adolescents embryonal RMS occurs in a younger age group than alveolar RMS, and pleomorphic RMS is almost always seen in older adults. The spindle cell subtype of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for 3% of all cases. embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (SRMS) Variants.

Click, Primitive malignant round cell tumor with skeletal muscle differentiation by immunohistochemistry or ultrastructure, Relatively rare, 7% of all rhabdomyosarcomas, 6% of all paratesticular tumors but still the most common nongerminal malignant tumor in the paratesticular region, Paratesticular region is the most common site for rhabdomyosarcomas in teenagers, No preference for either side or race has been demonstrated, Embryonal RMS (including its variant spindle cell type) is the most common subtype in this region, although any subtype can occur, Embryonal RMS is also the most common childhood malignant tumor of spermatic cord, Occurs in all age groups but most common in children; peak age is 9 years, ~80% occur before age 21 years, 20% are equally distributed in older age groups, Alveolar RMS and pleomorphic RMS are less common, pleomorphic RMS is least common, Alveolar RMS occurs mainly in young adults and adolescents, Spindle cell RMS first described in 1992 by German-Italian Cooperative Sarcoma Study (, Most commonly found in paratesticular region of young boys (, Mean age is 6.6 years (median 5 years), compared to nonspindle cell variants of paratesticular RMS (mean age 5.9 years, median 4 years), Usually nontender scrotal mass, stage I / II at presentation, Less likely to metastasize (16%) than nonspindle cell variant (~31%) (, Better survival (88%) than patients with spindle cell RMS in other locations (58%) in the IRS I & II studies (, Most cases are centered around paratesticular soft tissue with variable testicular involvement, Commonly spreads through lymphatics to iliac lymph nodes but hematologic spread to lungs and liver also occurs, Short clinical history of painless swelling in scrotum of days to weeks duration is most common presentation, Pain or history of trauma is extremely uncommon (~7% cases for each), Tumor is usually large at presentation, often reaching the inguinoscrotal region, 1/3 to 1/2 have metastases at presentation, In the largest series of pediatric RMS, 18 of 216 patients presented with distant metastases (, Adults have a higher prevalence of metastases at presentation (, Suspected clinically or by imaging, confirmed by histology, Negative markers for germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors, Liver function tests may be affected by metastases, MRI reveals a heterogeneously enhancing, well defined soft tissue mass classically encasing or displacing the testis, Age of the patient ≥ 10 years or < 1 year, Site of origin: parameningeal, bladder, prostate, abdomen, trunk, extremities are associated with poor prognosis;

loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 11p characterizes embryonal RMS, LOH by loss of maternal copy and duplication of paternal copy of 11p results in activation of IGF2 (IGF2 is known to show genomic imprinting, with silencing of the maternal allele), Alveolar RMS: characterized by t(2;13)(q35;q14) or t(1;13)(p36;q14), resulting in PAX3-FKHR or the PAX7-FKHR fusion proteins, detectable in 75 - 80% of alveolar RMS but absent in other subtypes; some cases have loss of imprinting of the IGF2 gene with re-expression of the normally silent maternal allele, Spindle cell RMS: PAX3-FKHR / PAX7-FKHR fusion (RMS1 / RMS2) associated with alveolar RMS are classically absent; cytogenetically, spindle cell RMS is close to embryonal RMS, based on presence of sporadic small gains of chromosome 2, 8, 11, 13 & 20.

In infants, these tumors are commonly associated with recurring fusions involving VGLL2 or NCOA2 and have a favorable prognosis. Genetically, a subset of the congenital cases display NCOA2 gene rearrangements, whereas tumors occurring in older children or … Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most important malignant soft tissue tumor of childhood (Enzinger and Weiss 1988).Following the first detailed description of an RMS of the skeletal muscles by Stout (1946), this entity was subdivided by histologic criteria into embryonal (Stobbe and Dargeon 1950), alveolar (Riopelle and Theriault 1956), botryoid (Horn et al. Conclusion. The spindle cell variant of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is uncommon and is most often encountered in the paratesticular region of children in whom it has a good prognosis. Spindle cell variant of RMS in adults, however, shows predilection for head and neck region and extremities, has greater cytologic atypia, and is more aggressive than pediatric lesions. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common childhood and adolescent sarcoma showing features of skeletal muscle differentiation. Embryonic, Alveolar, and Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma are the 3 types of Rhabdomyosarcoma. Spindle cell - may … Eleven patients were male and 5 were female. This subtype has a more favorable clinical course and prognosis than usual embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma typically occurs in young males and most commonly occurs in paratesticular soft tissue, followed by the head and neck. Nerve. Spindle Cell (Leiomyomatous) Rhabdomyosarcoma, a Rare Variant of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma.

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment in spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma. May form tadpole or strap cells; Nuclei may be multiple; Cross striations may be present; Anaplastic cellular features may be seen in approximately 13% of all subtypes of rhabdomyosarcoma.
