“…Although the more frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas are considered radio resistant, successful sterilization with radiotherapy has been demon strated with a soft tissue fibrosarcoma [2], fibromyxosarcoma [4], liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and mixed meso dermal sarcoma [3]. K er n o h a n [1] studied the pathological findings in 96 patients with fibrosarcoma of the brain, of which 27 patients re ceived post operative radiotherapy.…”

A case report is presented of a 14-year-old boy who developed a fibrosarcoma in the right middle cranial fossa. Craniotomy revealed an inoperable malignancy which was subsequently treated with large doses of radiation resulting in neurological improvement for a period of 15 months. He subsequently developed a metastatic pulmonary and spinal canal tumor which was treated with palliative doses of radiation resulting in considerable clinical improvement.

Fiberoptic instruments have improved the accuracy of diagnosis of lesions of the upper digestive tract, particularly since the capability to perform biopsy under direct vision has been developed. Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the upper gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare entity. A literature search has revealed only 10 instances of rhabdomyosarcoma involving the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum (1-5). In this report, we describe the use of fiberoptic diagnosis and gastroduodenoscopic biopsy in a patient with rhabdomyosarcoma of the stomach and duodenum.
