A cyst in the left lower lobe of the lung was removed from a 15-month-old girl and showed evidence suggesting a preexistent congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation; in addition a rhabdomyosarcoma was identified. Primitive mesenchyme and mesenchymal elements also were seen. The origin of the rhabd

β¦ Synopsis
Mosaicism for two forms of ring 13 was found in a child with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder, minor anomalies, and developmental delay. Her chromosome constitution was 46,XX,r(13Mpllq34)/46,XX,r de1(13)(pllq14). Both cell lines were present in lymphocytes and fibroblasts. The cell line with the smaller ring chromosome predominated in both tissues. The child's manifestations reflect the presence of both cell lines.

A female patient with the karyotype 45,X/46, X, r(X)(p11.2 q13) and severe developmental delay, prominent fingertip pads, long palpebral fissures, short stature, and history of hypotonia had a phenotype reminiscent of Kabuki syndrome. We hypothesized that overexpression of X chromosome-derived seque
The authors report a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the thigh complicated by two successive distant relapses shortly after radio- and chemotherapy, treated with etoposide, and resulting in complete long-lasting remission. The schedule of etoposide was 100 mg/ m2/d intravenously for three
