Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) commonly occurring in children and adolescents, is a rare and aggressive soft tissue malignancy demonstrating rapid growth and dissemination. Although their histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings are well known, cytomorphological features on serous effusions have not been well documented.

Abstract
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) commonly occurring in children and adolescents, is a rare and aggressive soft tissue malignancy demonstrating rapid growth and dissemination. Although their histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings are well known, cytomorphological features on serous effusions have not been well documented. A case of metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed on cytological examination of the pericardial fluid cytology and discuss the diagnostic difficulties that were encountered in this case has been presented.File in questo prodotto:
