Overview

On CT scan, rhabdomyosarcoma is characterized by soft tissue density, enhancement with contrast, and adjacent bone destruction.

CT

CT scan is considered as one of the first steps for evaluation of rhabdomyosarcoma.
The following CT scans are required in rhabdomyosarcoma:
- Primary site CT scan
- Chest CT scan
  - For evaluation of metastatic lesions
- Abdomen and retroperitoneal CT scan
- In paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma

+* CT scan is considered as one of the first steps for evaluation of rhabdomyosarcoma.
-*Soft tissue density
+* The following CT scans are required in rhabdomyosarcoma:
-*Some enhancement with contrast
+** Primary site CT scan
-*Adjacent bony destruction (over 20% of cases)
+***
+** Chest CT scan
-===Rhabdomyosarcoma of biliary tract===
+*** For evaluation of metastatic lesions
-*CT may show a heterogenous or hypo-attenuating mass with [[Bile duct|biliary ductal dilatation]].
+** Abdomen and retroperitoneal CT scan
+** In paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma
-===Rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit===
-*Rhabdomyosarcomas are typically well-circumscribed, homogeneous [[soft tissue]] masses which are isodense to normal muscle.<ref>{{Cite web | title =Rhabdomyosarcoma imaging| url =http://eyewiki.org/Rhabdomyosarcoma#Anatomic_locations}}</ref>
-*The mass may extend into the [[eyelid]] or through bone into the [[paranasal sinuses]] (especially the ethmoid sinus) and superiorly into the anterior cranial fossa.
-===Cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma===
-*CT may show a smooth or irregular low-attenuation mass in a cardiac chamber.
