Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma presenting on the knee-joint

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2015 Jul-Sep;58(3):335-7. doi: 10.4103/0377-4929.162867.

Abstract

Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare pathological diagnosis that easily misdiagnosed. The majority of cases reported the tumor increased rapidly in size and the Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 10% to 60%. Here, we report the first case of the tumor increased very slowly for 20 years and the Ki-67 proliferation index was lower than 2%, and discuss its histological features and immunohistochemical reactivity with Desmin and Ki-67 and so on.
