Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that exhibits striated muscle differentiation, the third most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood accounting for over half of all cases of soft tissue sarcomas in children. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is extremely rare in neonate1-6. Only twelve percent rhabdomyosarcoma account in trunk7. We report a case of congenital rhabdomyosarcoma in axilla (pretreatment staging T1b N0 M0) with embronal histological subtype. Treatment included complete resection with safe surgical margin and standerd chemotherapy with VAC regimen. Key Messages: Though most of the trunk tumours are of alveolar histological subtype without metastasis but rarely congenital RMS of trunk can present with large masses with metastasis and embryonal histological subtype in newborn.
