Abstract
Primary intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma is extremely rare, only nine cases have been reported in the world literature. To differentiate it from medullomyoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma should be devoid of neuroblastic elements. A case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the tentorial region in a 17-year-old boy is reported. Carotid angiograms demonstrated a peculiar neovascularity. Multiple cytologic preparations of CSF repeatedly contained rhabdomyosarcoma cells and CSF dissemination in the spinal subarachnoid space was documented at autopsy. The literature is reviewed.
