Summary
Neonatal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is rare, often presenting as a large mass. This case highlights a rare instance of embryonal RMS in a newborn with multiple subcutaneous nodules.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Paediatric Pathology
- Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Background:
- Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in children.
- RMS is uncommon in newborns, with head and neck being the most common presentation site.
- Neonatal presentation of RMS typically involves a large tumor mass.

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
