AI Article Synopsis
- Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a common and aggressive soft tissue tumor primarily affecting young patients, with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) being a notable subtype in adolescents.
- A rare case of pelvic lymph node metastatic ARMS in a young patient was diagnosed using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
- This marks the first documented instance of an ARMS diagnosis being confirmed through FNAC.
Article Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a common soft tissue malignant tumor, especially in young patients. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is a subtype of RMS that is prevalent in adolescents. This malignant tumor usually develops in the extremities and can also involve the trunk, perineum, and pelvis. Now, we report a rare case of pelvic lymph node metastatic alveolar RMS in a young patient, which was determined by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in which the definite diagnosis of ARMS was initially made by FNAC.
