[Preliminary elaboration of diagnostic methods for rhabdomyosarcoma in children].
The material basic for this paper consists of 24 children with soft tissue tumors, aged 1-16 years which were diagnosed in the Clinical Department of Child Oncology of the Institute of Mother and Child Warsaw. The diagnostic methods included: interview, physical examination, radiological examination (including CT), bone marrow punction histological investigation by means of fine needle punction and/or biopsy. These methods were sufficient in making a precise diagnosis and staging. The most frequent was stage III (16 cases). It comes from a fact of late diagnosis caused by non characteristic clinical picture. All common localisation was represented in this group (stage III including a cases of causel localisation in the heart.
