title: [Primary generalization in alveolar rhabdomyosarkom (author's transl)].
abstract: Rhabdomyosarcomas are surpassed in frequency only by neuroblastomas and Wilms' tumors in pediatric oncology. An unusual variant is the primarily generalized alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Reviewing a case history, diagnostic, differential diagnostic and therapeutic problems are discussed. Cure appears to be unobtainable at the present time; nevertheless an aggressive approach by modern therapy seems justified as prolonged symptomfree intervals are possible without considerable side effects.
