Overview

Classification

Histologic classification of rhabdomyosarcoma

  • The international classification of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) was created by the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study group (IRSG) therapeutic trials (IRS-I to IV).[1][2]
  • The four main subgroups are:
    • Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS)
    • Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS)
    • Botryoid and spindle cell (leiomyomatous) RMS
    • Sclerosing and spindle cell RMS
RMS subtypes Definition
Embryonal RMS (ERMS)
  • The most common group
  • Contains 59% of all RMS
  • Intermediate prognosis
  • Mostly occurs in head, neck, and genitourinary system[3]
  • Larger peak between age of 0-5 years and smaller peak among adolescents
  • Specific translocation is not yet designated[4]
  • Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the 11p15 locus, the site of the IGF-2 gene
Alveolar RMS (ARMS)
  • Determined by FOXO1 rearrangement, t (1;13) or t (2;13)[5]
  • Poorer prognosis
  • Contains 21% of all RMS
  • More likely among adolescents
  • Mostly occur in the trunk and extremities
  • Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma
    • Usually affects young adults
    • Early metastasis is common
  • Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma
    • Usually affects children <10 years of age
    • Typically locally invasive
  • Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Anaplastic rhabdomyosarcoma

Several additional subtypes of rhabdomyosarcoma exist that do not fit into the International Classification scheme:

  • Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma: Usually occurs in adults rather than children.
  • Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma: It is a rare rhabdomyosarcoma subtype.
