Abstract:
:Invasion of the meninges is a relatively common complication of head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), while RMS arising primarily within the brain or meninges is rare. We report the case of an 11-year old child with a primary "primitive" frontal lobe tumor, subsequent leptomeningeal spread and fatal intratumoral hemorrhage; the diagnosis of RMS was discovered only at postmortem examination. The literature contains a total of 34 reported cases of primary intracranial RMS. This tumor has been observed to arise in a variety of central nervous system (CNS) locations in patients of all ages, but most commonly within the posterior fossa of children. Leptomeningeal dissemination and spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage are important clinical features. Postoperative chemotherapy and craniospinal radiation may improve the anticipated poor prognosis of patients treated with surgery and radiation alone. The diagnosis of RMS may be missed unless electron microscopic and specific immunohistochemical studies are applied to "undifferentiated" or "primitive" CNS tumors.
