Overview

NCI Definition: A poorly circumscribed morphologic variant of rhabdomyosarcoma. It is characterized by the presence of primitive skeletal muscle differentiation in any stage of myogenesis. [1]

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, NRAS, NF1, MDM2, and FGFR4 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma

NRAS Mutation, NRAS Exon 3 Mutation, NRAS Exon 3 Missense, NRAS Codon 61 Missense, and TP53 Mutation are the most common alterations in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma [2].
