Overview

On CT scan, rhabdomyosarcoma is characterized by soft tissue density, enhancement with contrast, and adjacent bone destruction.

CT

  • CT scan is considered as one of the first steps for evaluation of rhabdomyosarcoma.[1][2]
  • The following CT scans are required in rhabdomyosarcoma:
    • Primary site CT scan
      • For assessment of bone erosion and nearby lymph node involvement
      • For assessment of patient's response to treatment
    • Chest CT scan
      • For evaluation of metastatic lesions
    • Abdomen and retroperitoneal CT scan (thin-cut 5 mm sections)
      • For assessment of retroperitoneal nodal involvement in paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Possible CT scan findings of rhabdomyosarcoma are:[3]
    • Soft tissue density
    • Enhancement with contrast
    • Bone destruction
