Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a group of soft tissue sarcomas that share a common feature of primitive skeletal muscle differentiation. Three main subtypes have been characterized: embryonal, alveolar, and pleomorphic. Presentation and prognosis of RMS are highly variable, depending on anatomic location, subtype, and risk stratification. Currently, treatment centers on systemic control with cytotoxic chemotherapy and local control with surgery and/or therapeutic radiation.
