“…Histologically, RMS can be classified into three subtypes: embryonal (67%), alveolar (32%) and pleomorphic (1%). In contrast to pleomorphic and alveolar subtypes, ERMS is more likely to present without distant metastasis [ 7 ]. Symptoms are non-specific and often depend on the location and size of the tumor [ 7 , 10 ].…”

“…The head and neck region, genitourinary tract and retroperitoneum are the most common anatomic sites for ERMS [ 3 ]. The mesenteric location is extremely rare and only a few cases are reported [ 7–9 ]. In this case report, we discuss the findings of a mesenteric RMS in an adolescent.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that histologically resembles embryonic skeletal muscle. It can occur anywhere in the body, including tissues devoid of skeletal muscles. RMS is a common malignancy in children, and it accounts for ˃50% of all soft tissue sarcomas in children. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) mostly affects children younger than 10 years of age. The head and neck area, the genitourinary tract and the retroperitoneum are described as the preferred anatomic sites for ERMS development. However, the mesentery location is extremely rare. We report a rare case of an ERMS occurring in the mesentery of a 17-year-old male.
