Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma is an often primitive tumor capable of diverse morphologic manifestations. The article describes three cases of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma in which a significant population of lipid-rich tumor cells was present. The lack of specificity and potentially confusing nature of this feature are discussed, and the ultrastructural diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma is briefly reviewed.
