Abstract:
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) commonly occurring in children and adolescents, is a rare and aggressive soft tissue malignancy demonstrating rapid growth and dissemination. Although their histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings are well known, cytomorphological features on serous effusions have not been well documented. A case of metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed on cytological examination of the pericardial fluid cytology and discuss the diagnostic difficulties that were encountered in this case has been presented.
