Rhabdomyosarcoma with Mixed Embryonal and Alveolar FeaturesNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Rhabdomyosarcoma with Mixed Embryonal and Alveolar Features;
NCIt synonyms : Mixed Type Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma; Mixed Type Rhabdomyosarcoma; Mixed Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma;
NCIt definition : A rhabdomyosarcoma composed of embryonic and alveolar components. It is characterized
by the presence of spindle cells with myoblastic differentiation, a myxoid stroma,
and fibrous septa. These tumors were previously considered variants of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
The lack of PAX3-FOXO1 fusions in most of these tumors suggests that are biologically
and clinically related to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.;
