    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: A slow growing indolent subcutaneous mass can be caused by a variety of benign and malignant soft tissue proliferations, however, it is often the first sign of soft tissue sarcomas. Radiological findings are unspecific and biopsy with histopathological analysis is needed. Method: Three female patients (age 9, 191/12 and 232/12 years) are presented with a slow growing subcutaneous mass, which was shown to be a malignant non-embryonal soft tissue sarcoma (alveolar soft part sarcoma). Results: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a very rare malignancy. At diagnosis, 2 patients already had metastatic disease. One girl died before therapy, the other one suffers from slowly progressive pulmonary metastases 41/2 years after diagnosis, despite multi-modal treatment approaches. The third patient received polychemotherapy and local irradiation after complete tumor resection and is free of disease 8 months after diagnosis. Conclusion: ASPS is a rare slow growing malignancy with an extraordinary tendency to metastasize. The prognosis depends on wether the tumor is operable and whether there are metastases.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Fragestellung: Langsam wachsende nicht schmerzhafte subkutane Knoten können durch unterschiedlichste gut- oder bösartige mesenchymale Proliferationen verursacht sein. Da sich hinter diesem Zeichen oft ein Malignom verbirgt und bildgebende Analysen nur selten den Weg zur Diagnose weisen, ist eine bioptische Klärung dringend erforderlich. Methode: Wir berichten über 3 Patientinnen (Alter 9, 191/12 und 231/6 Jahre) bei denen sich hinter einem langsam wachsenden subkutanen Knoten ein nicht embryonales Sarkom (Alveolar soft part sarcoma) verbarg. Ergebnisse: Das Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) ist ein ausgesprochenes seltenes Malignom. Zum Diagnosezeitpunkt lag bei 2 Patientinnen bereits eine Metastasierung vor. Eine Patientin verstarb noch vor Behandlungsbeginn. Bei der 2. sind Lungenmetastasen trotz multimodaler Therapie 41/2 Jahre nach Diagnosestellung langsam progredient. Die 3. Patientin erhielt nach Resektion eines lokalisierten ASPS am Oberarm postoperativ eine Polychemo- und lokale Strahlentherapie und ist 8 Monate nach der Diagnosestellung ohne Krankheitszeichen. Schlußfolgerung: Das ASPS ist ein langsam wachsender Tumor mit ausgeprägter Metastasierungstendenz. Die Prognose ist im wesentlichen von der Operabilität des Primärtumors und dem Vorliegen von Metastasen abhängig.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas of the female genital tract usually occur during infancy in the vagina. Only in rare cases can they be found in the cervix, where they are most commonly seen in adolescence. Their prognosis seems to be good since the introduction of a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. We report a case of cervical embryonal rhabdomysarcoma in IRS stage Ia in a 32-year-old female. After surgical resection and chemotherapy there has been no evidence of disease for 7 months. The case is compared with the published literature and prognostically relevant features, and possible problems in the differential diagnosis in biopsies are discussed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Embryonale Rhabdomyosarkome (ER) des weiblichen Genitaltrakts treten üblicherweise im Kindesalter an der Vagina auf. Nur in seltenen Fällen sind sie in der Adoleszenz an der Zervix anzutreffen. Ihre Prognose ist bei chirurgischer Entfernung des Tumors und adjuvanter Chemotherapie gut. Wir präsentieren den Fall einer 32 jährigen Frau mit einem embryonalen Rhabdomyosarkom der Zervix im IRS Stadium Ia. Nach der chirurgischen Entfernung des Tumors und anschließender Chemotherapie ist die Patientin seit 7 Monaten klinisch tumorfrei. Der Fall wird mit den bisher publizierten Fällen embryonaler Rhabdomyosarkome verglichen, prognostisch relevante Faktoren und die möglichen Probleme in der differential-diagnostischen Abgrenzung in Biopsien werden diskutiert.

    Notes: Abstract Ewing sarcoma and the closely relate peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour, recently referred to as Ewing tumour (ET), are characterised by unique gene rearrangements on chromosome 22. The breakpoints have been cloned and shown to fuse the Ewing sarcoma gene to one of two closely related ETS proto-oncogens, FLI-1 or ERG, which reside on chromosomes 11 and 21, respectively. The rearrangement results in the expression of specific hybrid transcripts which can be detected with high sensitivity by the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction technique (RT-PCR) in primary tumours, blood and bone marrow. We report on a 7-month-old boy with a pelvic Ewing sarcoma in whom circulating tumour cells were identified in the peripheral blood during open tumour biopsy by RT-PCR. However, before and 6 days after surgery no tumour cells could be detected in the peripheral blood. Conclusion The application of RTPCR to monito shedding of tumour cells during surgical intervention will nelp to evaluate if open biopsy potentially contributes to metastatic tumour cell spread.
