Abstract
In spite of advances in the treatment of childhood bladder and prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the ability to detect minimal residual disease correlates imperfectly with the ultimate outcome. We report the long-term follow-up of a child with microscopic residual RMS after chemotherapy. The correct interpretation of the histologic findings spared the child unnecessary additional therapy and raises enigmatic questions about the biology of minimal residual disease.
