MGMusie Negasi GebreslaseBRBirhanu Kassie RetaAGAwash Solomon Gebremariam

Key Points

  • This report aims to discuss the recurrence of primary peritoneal rhabdomyosarcoma after surgery and the potential impact of surgical handling.
  • Case report of a 6-year-old girl with peritoneal rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Review of existing literature on surgical techniques and outcomes
  • Assessment of recurrence patterns post-surgery
  • Documented rapid recurrence of rhabdomyosarcoma after surgical intervention
  • Emphasized that surgical techniques may contribute to tumor seeding
  • Highlighted the need for multimodal therapy post-surgery for better outcomes

Abstract

The aggressive nature of primary peritoneal rhabdomyosarcoma and the possible influence of surgical handling on recurrence are both highlighted in this case. To achieve an optimal outcome, early multimodal therapy and preventive surgical techniques are essential.
