Abstract

Abstract Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents, but some specific histologic subtypes occur in adult patients. They involve various soft tissue or visceral sites, and most follow an aggressive clinical course. Currently, rhabdomyosarcomas are classified into 4 distinct clinical and morphological subtypes: embryonal, alveolar, spindle cell/sclerosing, and pleomorphic. This article reviews the clinical, histopathologic, and updated genetic features of these rhabdomyosarcoma subtypes.
