Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the genitourinary organs
Abstract:
We report on 14 patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the genitourinary organs treated with combined modality therapy. Six patients with paratesticular lesions are free of tumor 7 to 72 months (mean 44) after diagnosis, while 6 of 8 with pelvic lesions are free of tumor 18 to 132 months (mean 61) following diagnosis. Two patients died of metastases. Over-all, 2-year survival free of relapse was obtained in 9 of 11 patients (81 per cent). Of 4 patients with pelvic lesions who were treated with primary radiation-chemotherapy without exenteration 3 were managed successfully but 1 required urinary diversion for vesical fibrosis. Current concepts in the management of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma are discussed.
