Botryoid cyst, a rare type of odontogenic cyst, is usually considered a multilocular variant of lateral periodontal cyst. It was first described in 1973, and up to the present less than a hundred cases have been reported in the literature. Botryoid cysts are characterized by a multilocular histologic finding and a higher risk of recurrence than lateral periodontal cysts. In this article, we present a case of botryoid cyst from our clinical practice, accompanied by literature review of previous cases reported in the literature so far. Study results showed that botryoid cysts mostly affected population in their fifties, with a slight female (53.5%) predominance over males (46.5%). The mandible was the most frequently affected region, accounting for 70 (83.3%) cases. Maxilla was only sporadically affected accounting for 14 (16.7%) cases. Radiographic appearance of botryoid cysts can be multilocular or unilocular. It is concluded that the recurrence rate is relatively high (30.1%), therefore long term follow up is needed.

Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare pediatric renal tumor composed of multiple cystic spaces divided by septa containing immature nephrogenic elements. The presence of expansile solid areas in the septa of such a lesion indicates an alternative diagnosis of Wilms tumor (WT). We present a unique case of CPDN associated with grossly visible polypoid proliferations, which histologically correspond to botryoid growth of intralobar nephrogenic rests.

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is the malignant mesenchymal proliferation of undifferentiated skeletal muscle. It is the most common soft tissue tumour found in children. Head and neck location accounts for 40% of the cases with the most common variants being of embryonal Nasopharyngeal RMS is a type of parameningeal RMS (arising from tissues adjacent to the meninges) having propensity for CNS and known for having a poorer prognosis, early recurrence, rapid growth and invasion to adjacent structures.

Introduction And Importance: Rhabdomyosarcoma [RMS] is a malignant soft-tissue neoplasm characterized by skeletal muscle differentiation. It accounts for 7 % of childhood malignancies and is, by a wide margin, the most common sarcoma of childhood (Pappo, 1996). Approximately 20 % of cases of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma occur in the genitourinary tract (vagina, urinary bladder, prostate, paratestis, and uterus), and they are most commonly observed in the head and neck region.

Article Synopsis
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the biliary tract is a rare pediatric cancer, accounting for only 0.5-0.8% of all RMS cases in children, yet it is the most common malignancy in this area for that age group.
  • The study analyzed the medical records of eight children treated for biliary tract RMS between 1996-2022, focusing on symptoms, diagnoses, treatment approaches, and outcomes.
  • Among the patients, initial symptoms included jaundice, with treatment involving biopsy, chemotherapy, and surgery; 75% of the patients are currently alive with no disease progression after a median follow-up of over 11 years.

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is the most common subtype of RMS, occurring in soft tissue and visceral sites of young children, and is associated with favorable outcomes. A subset occurs in mucosal-lined luminal structures, displaying a unique grape-like growth termed as "botryoid-type." To further delineate the differences between conventional (cERMS) and botryoid-type (bERMS) RMS, we performed a comparative histologic review and comprehensive molecular profiling of 48 cases (25 bERMS and 23 cERMS).
