Abstract Background: Primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma（PPRMS）in the middle-aged and elderly is a very rare event with only a few cases published. To date, only thirty-five cases of PPRMS in the middle-aged and elderly have been published. However, the analyses on clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of PPRMS in the middle-aged and elderly have not been performed.Case presentation: We report an additional case of PPRMS in the middle-aged and elderly.Conclusions: PPRMS in the middle-aged and elderly was a highly malignant soft tissue tumor with obvious gender characteristics and significant age distribution. Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) was the most common subtype, with poor prognosis and significantly prolonged survival time after surgical resection.

Abstract Background Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor, mainly localized in the extremities, occurring principally in adolescents and young adults. ASPS is uncommon in the female genital tract. Case report We here report a case of ASPS in a 20-year-old nullipara, presenting with vaginal bleeding and profound anemia requiring blood transfusions. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a polyp in the lower uterine segment. Surgical resection of the polyp was performed, and pathological evaluation showed the typical histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features consistent with ASPS. At the time of this report, the patient was scheduled for total hysterectomy with promising results. Conclusion Given the infrequency of ASPS, pathological evaluation is or utmost importance in order to establish an accurate diagnosis. When presenting as a primary tumor, complete excision is fundamental in the treatment.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant soft-tissue tumor that rarely involves brachial plexus. The authors report a case of brachial plexus SS and review the relevant literature. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 53-year-old woman presented with gradually enlarging right subclavicular mass over 5 years associated with sharp aching pain radiating down toward the radial 3 fingers. On examination, she had a corresponding firm mass in the supraclavicular region with a positive Tinel sign. There was no objective neurological deficit. She underwent partial excision of this mass without any further adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy. Pathology was consistent with SS. CONCLUSION: Lack of any recurrence in this case 6 years after incomplete excision with no adjuvant therapy suggests slow clinical course in some of these sarcomas.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), its most common subtype, is a malignant soft tissue tumor with morphologic and immunophenotypic features of embryonic skeletal muscle. The histologic findings in ERMS typically include a range of differentiation in rhabdomyoblasts from primitive to terminally differentiated forms, and the latter become more prominent after chemotherapy-induced cytodifferentiation. Several reports have shown therapy-related cytodifferentiation to portend a good prognosis in ERMS. We discuss the case of a pediatric patient who presented with ERMS of the orbit. Although her tumor showed extensive posttreatment cytodifferentiation and several other good prognostic clinicopathologic factors, it pursued an aggressive course, resulting in early metastasis and death. This case represents an unusual course and may be instructive as to the clinicopathologic features impacting prognostication, and ultimately the biology, of this aggressive family of tumors.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a malignant fibrohistiocytic tumor that appears exclusively on the skin. It is a low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor of subcutaneous tissues that has a propensity for local recurrence but seldom metastasizes. It may rarely occur on the head and neck accounting for less than one percent of total head and neck malignancies. We present a man with a giant DFSP on the face. Oncological, functional, and aesthetic aspects are set forth.
