It is a disease in which cancer cells begin growing in muscle tissue somewhere in your body. It begins in the soft tissues in a type of muscle called striated muscle. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of a sarcoma.
A malignant tumor composed of striated muscle fibers
sarcoma of striated, or voluntary, muscle. The commonest soft tissue sarcoma in children. There are three sub-types - embryonal (usually in children), alveolar (usually in younger adults) and pleomorphic (most common in more elderly people).
A malignant tumor of striated muscle cells.
This is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of muscles that we control, such as the muscles in the arms and legs.
a highly malignant neoplasm derived from striated muscle
a malignant tumor arising from precursor cells of striated muscle.The majority of soft tissue sarcomas in young children are embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas, which are morphologically distinct from adult tumors.
Cancer originating in the soft tissues of the body such as muscle, tendons or connective tissue.
a cancerous tumor that originates in the soft tissues of the body such as muscle, tendons, and connective tissue.
Rare, rapidly growing malignant neoplasm of striated muscle that occurs in three histologic patterns (embryonal, alveolar, and pleomorphic); all have a poor prognosis.
( see also): Rhabdomyosarcoma is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells begin growing in muscle tissue somewhere in the body. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of a sarcoma, which means a cancer of the bone, soft tissues, or connective tissue (e.g., tendon or cartilage). Rhabdomyosarcoma begins in the soft tissues in a type of muscle called striated muscle. It can occur anywhere in the body.
A rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer, specifically a sarcoma (cancer of connective tissues), in which the cancer cells are thought to arise from skeletal muscle progenitors. It can also be found attached to muscle tissue, wrapped around intestines, or anywhere, to include the neck area. It is most common in children ages one to five, and teens aged 15 to 19, although quite rare in the latter.
