Abstract

Rhabdomyomas are benign tumors of striated muscle. They are distinguished by topographic data: cardiac or genital and by histological criteria: foetal or adult type. The foetal type is the most heterogeneous, with either a majority of immature cells or a mixture of maturing elements. This diversity has led to distinguish immature (or standard) foetal Rhabdomyomas from intermediate foetal Rhabdomyomas. One observation of this last type is reported. The authors highlight the essential characteristics of foetal Rhabdomyomas, however the exact meaning remains unclear: an anomaly in the differentiation of the striated muscle? or a true tumoral process through genetic anomaly?
