    Summary

    Primary intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive brain tumor in children. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Neuro-oncology
    • Rhabdomyosarcoma Research

    Background:

    • Primary intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma is an exceptionally rare pediatric brain tumor.
    • Historically, outcomes for this malignancy have been poor, with limited reported cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on five pediatric cases of intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma treated with a multimodal approach.
    • To highlight the importance of advanced diagnostic techniques and aggressive therapy for this rare tumor.

    Main Methods:

    • Multimodal treatment including surgical resection, craniospinal irradiation, and intravenous-intrathecal chemotherapy.
    • Utilized electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for definitive pathological diagnosis.
    • Followed patients for long-term survival outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Two patients achieved long-term survival (21 and 67 months), with one representing the longest reported survival.
    • Tumor recurrence led to death in two patients.
    • One patient died due to pulmonary embolism; posterior fossa involvement was common at diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Aggressive, multimodal therapy can lead to improved survival in pediatric intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma.
    • Accurate diagnosis using advanced techniques is vital for timely and effective treatment.
    • This study suggests a potential reevaluation of the prognosis for this rare brain malignancy.
