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.
横纹肌肉瘤（RMS）是一种软组织肉瘤，在组织学上类似于胚胎骨骼肌。它可发生于身体的任何部位，包括没有骨骼肌的组织。RMS是儿童常见的恶性肿瘤，占儿童所有软组织肉瘤的50%以上。胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤（ERMS）主要影响10岁以下的儿童。头颈部、泌尿生殖道和腹膜后被描述为ERMS发生的首选解剖部位。然而，肠系膜部位极为罕见。我们报告一例罕见的17岁男性肠系膜ERMS病例。
