Summary

Congenital rhabdomyosarcoma in newborns can be successfully treated with surgery and chemotherapy (IVA regimen). Early intervention ensures full limb function and prevents recurrence in infants.

Background:

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma in children.
Congenital rhabdomyosarcoma presents a unique management challenge due to its early onset.
Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

A term infant presented with a congenital rhabdomyosarcoma on the left forearm.
The mass was partially necrotic, ulcerated, and bleeding.
Initial management involved curettage, local resection, and skin grafting.

Findings:

The infant received adjuvant chemotherapy using the IVA regimen (ifosfamide, vincristine, dactinomycin).
Post-treatment follow-up at 2 years showed no evidence of tumor recurrence.
The affected limb demonstrated full functional recovery.

Implications:

This case highlights the efficacy of a combined surgical and chemotherapeutic approach for congenital rhabdomyosarcoma.
Successful management can lead to excellent long-term functional outcomes in affected infants.
Further research into optimal treatment protocols for congenital rhabdomyosarcoma is warranted.
