To determine whether this variant occurs in children, we investigated this phenomenon in a recent series of 1207 pediatric patients who had RMS accessioned by the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group, now part of Children's Oncology Group. Thirteen patients had features of sclerosing RMS; 9 had been diagnosed with alveolar RMS (ARMS), 3 with embryonal RMS (ERMS), and 1 with a spindle cell RMS. Primary sites included head and neck (6 patients), extremities (5 patients), scrotum (1 patient), and retroperitoneum (1 patient). Patients' ages ranged from 0.3 to 16 years. All tumors showed positivity for myogenin, MyoD, and desmin, but only 2 patients demonstrated the strong myogenin staining typically seen in ARMS. Three patients diagnosed with ARMS demonstrated embryonal-appearing foci, and 3 of 4 patients who had nonalveolar tumors had ARMS-like foci. Standard reverse transcriptase\u2013polymerase chain reaction performed on RNA isolated from frozen sections showed 1 ARMS with a positivity for PAX3-FKHR with four patients classified as having ARMS and 1 as having spindle cell RMS were negative for both ARMS fusion transcripts (PAX3- and PAX7-FKHR). Cytogenetic testing in 2 patients who had ARMS-like foci demonstrated mild hyperdiploidy in both patients and a near-tetraploid clone in 1 patient. Sclerosing RMS may arise in children, have mixed ERMS-ARMS histology, originate from the head and neck, and lack strong myogenin staining. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10024-004-5058-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,16]],"date-time":"2004-11-16T18:42:27Z","timestamp":1100630547000},"page":"583-594","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Sclerosing Rhabdomyosarcomas in Children and Adolescents: A Clinicopathologic Review of 13 Cases from the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group and Children's Oncology Group"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Melissa C.","family":"Chiles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology and Pediatrics, Arkansas Children's Hospital and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Slot 820, 800 Marshall Street, Little Rock, AR 72202, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David M.","family":"Parham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology and Pediatrics, Arkansas Children's Hospital and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Slot 820, 800 Marshall Street, Little Rock, AR 72202, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen J.","family":"Qualman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Children's Hospital, Center for Childhood Cancer, Children's Drive, WA5011, Columbus, OH 43205, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa A.","family":"Teot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, 3705 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia A.","family":"Bridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nebraska Medical Center for Human Genetics, 985440 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-5440, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fred","family":"Ullrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive and Societal Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 984350 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-4350, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederic G.","family":"Barr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 36th Street and Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6082, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William H.","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hematology\/Oncology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, 940 NE 13 Street, Room 3308, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"For the Soft Tissue Sarcoma Committee of the Children's Oncology Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-s10024-004-5058-x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s100249900076"},{"key":"bibr2-s10024-004-5058-x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1699-0463.1989.tb00783.x"},{"key":"bibr3-s10024-004-5058-x","first-page":"305","volume":"436","author":"Mentzel T","year":"2000","journal-title":"Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of three cases.
