Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Oncology

Background:

  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare subtype, particularly in young adults.
  • Abdominal presentation is uncommon, often involving the genito-urinary tract or pelvis.

Observation:

  • A young adult female presented with abdominal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
  • The patient underwent radical pelvic surgery.
  • Combination chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin-D, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) was administered.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved a complete response to the combined treatment modality.
  • No evidence of tumor recurrence was observed for 3 years post-surgery.

  • This case highlights successful management of a rare presentation.

    • Implications:

    • Combined modality treatment including surgery and VAC chemotherapy is effective for abdominal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
    • Long-term surveillance is crucial for patients with rhabdomyosarcoma.
    • Further research into optimal treatment strategies for rare rhabdomyosarcoma subtypes is warranted.
