Small bowel metastasis from embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the extremity- a case report
We report an unusual case of ileal metastases from an upper extremity rhabdomyosarcoma in a 17-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain during a routine follow-up visit. Laparotomy and ileocecectomy for a perforated ileal mass confirmed metastatic embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with 1 out of 14 positive lymph node metastases. This case demonstrates that, although rare, intra-abdominal metastases should be considered when patients with a rhabdomyosarcoma present with abdominal complaints.PMID:38450697 | DOI:10.36303/SAJS.4120 (Source: South African Journal of Surgery)

An integrative morpho-molecular approach in malignant ectomesenchymoma diagnosis: report of a new paediatric case and a review of the literature
ConclusionWe promote the importance of a diagnosis based on an integrative morpho-molecular approach, that routinely include molecular analysis and the use of bioinformatic mutation detection tools, to support diagnostic and therapeutical queries and to highlight tumour biology and behaviour.
