Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare form of cancer that affects children. It is a malignant tumor that develops in the muscles that are responsible for movement, such as those in the arms, legs and torso. RMS can occur in any part of the body, but it is most commonly found in the head and neck area, followed by the genitourinary tract, extremities and trunk. RMS is a type of soft tissue sarcoma, which means it originates in the body's connective tissues, including muscle, fat and fibrous tissue. RMS is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children, with around 350 new cases diagnosed in the United States each year.
