Abstract
- Rhabdomyosarcoma which was first described by Weber has generally been considered an uncommon tumor. Recently it was classified as four types such as pleomorphic, embryonal, botryoid and alveolar type by Stout, Stobbe et al, Horn et al. and Riopelle et al. Five cases of rhabdomyosarcoma treated recently in Seoul National University Hospital were repored in this paper. 1. There were three pleomorphic types, one alveolar type and one undifferentiated malignant mesenchymal tumor. 2. Four cases were between 18-23 years old and one was 37 years old. 3. Three were male and two were female. 4. Time to be consulted to us was average 8 months. 5. Three were in lower extremity (two in thigh, one in calf) and two were in upper extremity (one in elbow, the other in forearm). 6. Follow-up study was done for three cases. One was exoired at,three months after hindquarter amputation, the other was expired at two years after supracondylar amputation and no recurrence and metastases were developed one year after local resection in another one case.
