  • Title: Pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the fallopian tube.
    Author: Buchwalter CL, Jenison EL, Fromm M, Mehta VT, Hart WR.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 1997 Oct; 67(1):95-101. PubMed ID: 9345363.
    Abstract:
    Rhabdomyosarcoma is a neoplasm of childhood which commonly arises in the genitourinary tract. Reported locations include the bladder, prostate, paratestis, vagina, uterus, cervix, and ovary. Rhabdomyosarcomas have been reported to occur in the fallopian tube only as a component of a malignant mixed müllerian tumor. We present a case of pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the fallopian tube in a 17-year-old. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical stains. The strongest evidence for the primary location of this pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma was the gross appearance of the tumor at laparotomy. Additionally, rhabdomyosarcomas arising from adjacent organs have never been reported to grow into the fallopian tubes.
