Abstract

A case of sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in a young adult with multiple lung and skip bone metastases is reported. Complete remission was achieved with this patient by treatment with multi-agent chemotherapy and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) based on the pathological diagnosis of RMS using a specimen obtained during an open biopsy at the first consultation. He is still alive and has been continuously disease free for 12 years after surgery. This is a very rare case with successful treatment using PBSCT for a sclerosing RMS that presented with multiple distant metastases at the first consultation.
