Botryoid Rhabdomyosarcoma

Comments:
Botryoid Rhabdomyosarcoma: The tumor was located in the soft palate and retromolar trigone in a 6 y/o female. Note the subepithelial condensation of the tumor cells (cambium layer) which is separated from the overlying squamous epithelium by a clear zone.

The deeper areas are hypocellular and consist of scant numbers of small, round or stellate cells in a loose myxoid stroma.
