Presenting 11 cases, symptomatology and therapy of coccygeal teratoma are discussed. Special consideration is given to the theories of pathogenesis.-W. Leuterer.
RHABDOMYOSARCOMA OF THE SPERMATIC CORD. D. M. Hays, V. Q. Mirabal, H. R. Patel, N. Shore and M. M. Woolley. Surgery 65:845849 (May) 1969.
RHABDOMYOSARCOMA OF VAGINAL TUNIC. M. T. Assini, G. 0. Otero and J. Canton. 1. Urol. 101:732-734 (May) 1969. This is a case report of a 16-year-old boy who was found to have a rhabdomyosarcoma involving the right vaginal tunic. Radical en bloc excision of the lesion and cord was performed. He later developed retroperitoneal and mediastinal metastases which were treated by radiotherapy.
These lesions usually appear in children and young
adults and have a fatal outcome in most cases. M. Henderson.
This rare tumor of childhood has been uniformly lethal. Three patients are reported including one child who is free of tumor for more than 3 years following treatment. Two patients age 15 and 10 years were dead within 2 years after the onset of their symptoms. The third patient, an 11-month-old boy still survives. This survivor was treated by local radical resection of the tumor followed by retroperitoneal node disection and pre- and postoperative vincristine.D. T. Cloud.
