Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue tumor in children aged less than 19 years. In the represented case report, polychemotherapy at Stage 1 of treatment resulted in a complete regression of metastases in the lung and pleura, normalization of the patients health status within 18 months. Consolidation radiotherapy directed to the prostate and femoral bones could achieve a local control over these foci. The emerged recurrence was located in the lung and pleura. The effect of second-line chemotherapy did not exceed 3 months. Despite primary disease dissemination and poor prognosis, disease stabilization and better quality of life (improved general condition, recovery of spontaneous urination, relief and complete disappearance of pain) could be achieved at therapy month 27.
