Translocation (2;8)(q35;q13): a recurrent abnormality in congenital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

We report a case of congenital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), a rare form of rhabdomyosarcoma, featuring a karyotype with a t(2;8)(q35;q13) in a 2-week-old male infant. This is the third reported case of congenital ERMS with cytogenetic findings. The previous cases also showed a similar or possibly identical translocation.
