"Signal characteristics"
"There is a slight male predilection (M:F 1.67:1 7) with White children affected more often than children of other races."
"The clinical presentation varies depending on the location of a tumour (see below); however, in general, rhabdomyosarcomas are rapidly growing masses. They cause localised pressure effects on neurovascular structures and have a predilection for infiltrating bones 6. Pathological fractures can therefore occur ref."
"These tumours can occur anywhere, and not necessarily where the skeletal muscle is normally found ref. In children and adolescents, they occur predominantly in the head, neck and pelvis ref."
"Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas are characterised by large atypical cells that are often multinucleated, spindle-shaped, polygonal or rhabdoid in appearance 11."
