Overview. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that can occur in various locations in your body. Sarcoma is the general term for a broad group of cancers that begin in the bones and in the soft (also called connective) tissues (soft tissue sarcoma).
Soft tissue sarcomas are cancerous (malignant) tumors that originate in the soft tissues of your body. This illustration shows a soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh muscle just above the knee. Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that begins in the tissues that connect, support and surround other body structures.
Spindle cell sarcoma is a soft-tissue tumour which can start in the bone. Spindle cell sarcomas of the bone are often found in the arms, legs and pelvis. They most commonly arise in patients over the age of 40 and are extremely rare, making up just 2-5% of all primary bone cancer cases.
Overview. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare type of cancer that forms in soft tissue — specifically skeletal muscle tissue or sometimes hollow organs such as the bladder or uterus. RMS can occur at any age, but it most often affects children.
A sarcoma is a type of tumor that develops in connective tissue, such as bone, cartilage or muscle. Sarcomas can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and thermal ablation.
A carcinoma forms in the skin or tissue cells that line the body's internal organs, such as the kidneys and liver. A sarcoma grows in the body's connective tissue cells, which include fat, blood vessels, nerves, bones, muscles, deep skin tissues and cartilage.
Although there are more than 50 types of sarcoma, they can be grouped into two main kinds: soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma, or osteosarcoma. About 13,190 cases of soft tissue sarcoma and 800-900 new cases of bone sarcomas will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2022.
Stage 3 soft tissue sarcoma: This stage can be defined in one of two ways: The tumor is larger than 5 cm across and has not spread to the lymph nodes or distant sites. The cancer is grade 3. The tumor can be any size, and it has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not distant sites.
Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS): ASPS is an extremely rare sarcoma that typically starts in the lower extremities of people between the ages of 15 and 40. It is a slow-growing tumor but one that often spreads to other parts of the body, such as the lungs and brain.
Spindle cell sarcoma is a soft-tissue tumour which can start in the bone. This cancer is rare and makes up just 2-5% of all primary bone cancer cases. Spindle cell sarcoma of the bone tends to follow the same diagnosis and treatment methods as a more common form of primary bone cancer, known as osteosarcoma.

Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell (bone marrow) transplant. TREATMENT. The specific type of tumor, its size, its location, and the amount that it has spread determines the type of treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma.
Rhabdomyosarcoma usually occurs in two distinct groups: children age five and under, and adolescents 14-20 years of age. Generally, children with Stage IV rhabdomyosarcoma have a 5-year survival rate of 20 to 25%. Survival rates for Stages I, II, and III are much higher (60 to 90%).
Rhabdomyosarcoma is much more common in children than adults. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, PHYSICAL FINDINGS, AND ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM CODING. Diagnostic testing: Diagnosis is often delayed because of a lack of symptoms or physical findings, and because the tumor may appear at the same time as a recent injury.
Rhabdomyosarcoma ( RMS ), is a highly aggressive form of cancer that develops from mesenchymal cells that have failed to fully differentiate into myocytes of skeletal muscle. Cells of the tumor are identified as rhabdomyoblasts. There are four subtypes – embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, ...
Embryonal subtype. Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma is almost always found in mucosal lined organs including the vagina, bladder, and nasopharynx (although presentation in the nasopharynx typically affects older children). It often presents in infants younger than a year old, as a round, grape-like mass on the affected organ.
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is the second most common type. ARMS comprises approximately 20–25% of RMS-related tumors, and it is equally distributed among all age groups with an incidence of about 1 case per 1 million people ages 0 to 19. For this reason, it is the most common form of RMS observed in young adults and teenagers, who are less prone to the embryonal variant. This type of RMS is characterized by densely-packed, round cells that arrange around spaces similar in shape to pulmonary alveoli, although variants have been discovered without these characteristic alveolar spacings. ARMS tends to form more often in the extremities, trunk, and peritoneum. It is also typically more aggressive than ERMS.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in children as well as the third most common solid tumor in children. Recent estimates place the incidence of the disease at approximately 4.5 case per 1 million children/adolescents with approximately 250 new cases in the United States each year. With the vast majority of cases of RMS occurring in children or adolescents, two-thirds of reported cases occur in youths under the age of 10. RMS also occurs slightly more often in males than in females, with a ratio of approximately 1.3–1.5:1. In addition, slightly lower prevalence of the disease has been reported in black and Asian children relative to white children. In most cases, there are no clear predisposing risk factors for the development of RMS. It tends to occur sporadically with no obvious cause. However, RMS has been correlated with familial cancer syndromes and congenital abnormalities including neurofibromatosis type 1, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Li–Fraumeni syndrome, cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome, and Costello syndrome. It has also been associated with parental use of cocaine and marijuana.
Treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma is a multidisciplinary practice involving the use of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and possibly immunotherapy. Surgery is generally the first step in a combined therapeutic approach. Resectability varies depending on tumor site, and RMS often presents in sites that don't allow for full surgical resection without significant morbidity and loss of function. Less than 20% of RMS tumors are fully resected with negative margins. Rhabdomyosarcomas are highly chemosensitive, with approximately 80% of cases responding to chemotherapy. In fact, multi-agent chemotherapy is indicated for all patients with rhabdomyosarcoma. Before the use of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy involving chemotherapeutic agents, treatment solely by surgical means had a survival rate of <20%. Modern survival rates with adjuvant therapy are approximately 60–70%.
There are four subtypes – embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, and spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma. Embryonal, and alveolar are the main groups, and these types are the most common soft tissue sarcomas of childhood and adolescence.
Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (undifferentiated) rhabdomyosarcoma), also known as anaplastic rhabdomyosarcoma, is defined by the presence of pleomorphic cells with large, lobate hyperchromatic nuclei and multipolar mitotic figures. These tumors display high heterogeneity and extremely poor differentiation.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a very rare tumor. It is a rare neoplasm of the dermis layer of the skin, and is classified as a sarcoma. There is only about one case per million per year. DFSP is a fibrosarcoma, more precisely a cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma.
