Spontaneous rhabdomyosarcoma is rare in laboratory rodents. Incidence was estimated as 2.4/100,000 in BALB/c mice; incidence of <0.5% for rodents is generally accepted. We describe spontaneous rhabdomyosarcoma in 2 aged, female ([A/J x CBA/ J]F1) mice. Part of a small breeding colony, these mice were experimentally naive; incidence was estimated as 12.5%. Tumors were located in the muscles of the thoracic wall and muscles of the dorsolumbar region. Cross-striations were detected, using phosphotung- stic acid hematoxylin stain; presence of cross-striations within the neoplasm are diagnostic for rhabdomyosarcoma.

Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- Pediatric cardiac tumors are uncommon, with the majority being benign, and cardiac fibroma is notably the second most common type after rhabdomyoma.
- A case of a 5-month-old boy with acute viral bronchiolitis revealed incidental findings of a cardiac fibroma via various diagnostic tests, including echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization, leading to its confirmation.
- Treatment typically involves surgery or heart transplantation, especially for cases with significant dysfunction, and accurate characterization of the tumor is crucial for determining the best therapeutic strategy.

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncological emergency characterized by metabolic and electrolyte imbalances associated with the rapid destruction of tumor cells. It is commonly recognized when cytotoxic treatment for hematological malignancies is initiated. Spontaneous TLS with solid tumors like rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is exceedingly rare.

The dystrophin gene () is recognized for its significance in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a lethal and progressive skeletal muscle disease. Some patients with DMD and model mice with muscular dystrophy (mdx) spontaneously develop various types of tumors, among which rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most prominent. By contrast, spindle cell sarcoma (SCS) has rarely been reported in patients or mdx mice.

Periampullary neoplasm is rare in pediatric patients and has constituted a strict indication for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), which is a procedure sporadically reported in the literature among children. Robotic PD has been routinely performed for periampullary neoplasm in periampullary neoplasm, but only a few cases in pediatric patients have been reported. Here, we report the case of a 3-year-old patient with periampullary rhabdomyosarcoma treated with robotic pylorus-preserving PD and share our experience with this procedure in pediatric patients.
