Tumor sólido maligno que se produce a partir de tejidos mesenquimales que normalmente se diferencian para formar músculo estriado. Puede aparecer en muy diversas zonas y se divide en cuatro tipos distintos: pleomorfo, sobre todo en varones adultos; alveolar (RABDOMIOSARCOMA ALVEOLAR), principalmente en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes; embrionario (RABDOMIOSARCOMA EMBRIONARIO), que afecta sobre todo a lactantes y niños; y botrioide, que también afecta a niños pequeños. Es uno de los sarcomas de tejidos blandos más frecuentes y el más común en los niños menores de 15 años.

Scope note:

A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.
