Overview

NCI Definition: A rare aggressive malignant mesenchymal neoplasm arising from skeletal muscle. It usually occurs in children and young adults. Only a small percentage of tumors arise in the skeletal muscle of the extremities. The majority arise in other anatomical sites. [1]

Rhabdomyosarcomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, NRAS, NF1, MDM2, and FOXO1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Rhabdomyosarcoma

TP53 Mutation, NRAS Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, and MDM2 Amplification are the most common alterations in rhabdomyosarcoma [2].
