Cytogenetic analysis performed on a 14-month-old boy with a primary retroperitoneal/paraspinal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma showed the presence of a der(13)t(1;13)(q23;q32) resulting in partial trisomy of the 1q23-->qter region and loss of the 13q32-->qter region. The present case is discussed with reference to a similar case reported in the literature.
