Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is considered as a most common soft tissue cancers among children and adolescents and it is the third most common extracranial solid tumors during childhood which comes after neuroblastomaand wilms tumor.[1][2]
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is responsible for 50% of soft tissue tumors during childhood and 5% of all pediatrics cancers.[3]
  • Almost 350 new cases of rhabdomyosarcoma are diagnosed annually.[1]

Incidence

The overall incidence of rhabdomyosarcoma in children is 0.45 cases for 100,000 children and 50% of cases are seen in the first decade of life.[4] Incidence may depend on the histologic subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma:

  • Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma: Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma peaks in 0 to 4 year age group at approximately 0.4 cases per 100,000 children, with a lower rate in adolescents, approximately 0.15 cases per 100,000 adolescents.
  • Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma: The incidence of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma does not vary by gender and is constant from ages 0 to 19 years at approximately 0.1 case per 100,000 children and adolescents.
  • Undifferentiated sarcoma: Infants younger than 1 year have a higher incidence of undifferentiated sarcoma.

Age

In general, rhabdomyosarcoma tends to affect individuals less than 45 years of age.

  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is most commonly seen in children aged one to five years old. Overall, 65% of all rhabdomyosarcomas are diagnosed in patients under 10 years old.
  • Less commonly, it can also present in teens aged 15 to 19, and can even develop in adulthood, though this is even more rare.
