4 cases of malignant tumors of the head and neck diagnosed in our department in 1983-1987 are presented. They are: rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the nose and the ethmoid sinuses, RMS of the nasal vestibulum, nasopharyngeal lymphoma malignum. Diagnostic difficulties were met by the histopathological evaluation of the tumors specimens, but the applied treatment was effective. There are no signs of recurrence during the observation period of 4-8 years.

About 27% of malignant tumors in children is located in the head and neck. Besides primary solid tumors, lymph node metastases as well as signs of systemic diseases of the lymphatic tissue are often found in this region. The latter are the most common childhood malignancies. Among primary solid malignant tumors in this region neoplasms of the soft tissues are frequency found. Their prevalence comes next to the tumors of the central nervous system and the orbit. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) represents 50% of cases in this group. Malignant neoplasms originating from epithelial and bone tissue occur rarely in children. The evolution of triple therapy, combining surgery with irradiation and chemotherapy has produced and improvement in prolonged survival rates in these children.

Immunocytochemistry with the use of monoclonal antibodies to vimentin, keratin, desmin, neurofilaments and leukocyte common antigen (LCA) was applied to 53 fine needle aspirates of small cell-, round-, blue-cell malignant tumors of childhood (neuroblastomas, nephroblastomas, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, Ewing's sarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas). The results revealed the following immunophenotypes: neuroblastomas were positive for neurofilaments. Nephroblastomas contained vimentin (in blastema cells), keratin (in epithelial and blastema cells) Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were vimentin and LCA positive, keratin negative. Ewing's sarcomas displayed multidirectional differentiation. Rhabdomyosarcomas were desmin and vimentin positive. It is concluded that immunocytochemistry in fine needle aspirates should be used as an objective evidence to support morphologic differential diagnosis of small cell-, round-, blue cell malignant tumors of childhood.

A case of rhabdomyosarcoma embrionale uvulae in 5 years old girl was described. The child was treated at the beginning surgically, then chemotherapy was given according to schema IRS-III. After 2 years observation the child is in a good condition.

531 cases of malignant neoplasms and potentially malignant hyperplasia in children and adolescents diagnosed in the Department of Pathomorphology, Institute of Mother and Child between 1978/79 and 1983 are presented. Only patients treated in this hospital were included into the study. The most common diagnoses were neuroblastoma (68 cases), rhabdomyosarcoma (62 cases), nephroblastoma (56 cases), osteogenic sarcoma (47 cases), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (41 cases). Besides neoplasms most typical for childhood and adolescence the rare less typical cases were also seen.

An electron-microscopic examination of ten cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma is presented. The most characteristic features for diagnosis are: presence of microvilli and desmosomes, abundant intermediate filaments and direct contact between microvilli and collagen fibres. Microvilli were present not only on the luminal surface of the cells, but also on the abluminal surfaces. Differentiation towards the cells characteristic for rhabdomyosarcoma was found in one case.

A rare case of cervical alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a 45-year old female is presented. The removal of the tumour was performed in two stage-procedure, due to its large dimensions: first the bulk of the tumour was removed per vaginam, proceeding afterwards to a radical hysterectomy. Metastases were detected in pelvic lymph nodes. The patient was given postoperative radiotherapy, but a dissemination of the tumour was found at the termination of the treatment and the patent died 3.5 months after surgery.

Recent cytogenetic studies have revealed that several types of benign and malignant human soft tissue tumors are characterized by highly specific chromosome abnormalities. In this article, we review the primary and secondary chromosome aberrations detected in lipoma, uterine leiomyoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, and clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses. The primary aberrations are unique for the particular tumor type and therefore are of diagnostic value. Most recent molecular studies indicate that several sarcoma-specific translocations result in the gene fusion and creation of tumor-specific proteins that are novel DNA transcription factors.

In this study we examined selected elements of the antioxidant defence system in the plasma of children with the most common solid tumors (nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma). We observed a significant increase of plasma antioxidant activity (AOA) in the majority of the examined children. This factor changed during clinical treatment, i.e. induction of chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiotherapy and during maintenance chemotherapy. We conclude that the elevated plasma antioxidant activity in children with malignancy may be due to the higher concentration of ceruloplasmin in affected children than in their healthy counterparts.

The results of treating 155 children with rhabdomyosarcoma using protocols that (RMS) changing over the years between 1962-1990 in reported to progress in chemotherapy (CHT), introduction of megavoltage radiotherapy (RTX) and conservative surgery with attempts to preserve vital organs are presented. In the first period between 1962-1980 when mainly surgery was applied with orthovoltage RTX and low intensity CHT, only 20 of 74 children (27%) survived. In the second period 1981-1985 systemic CHT containing new cytostatic, megavoltage RTX and limited surgery applied in advanced cases after induction of CHT were introduced. Nineteen of 46 children (41.3%) survived. In the last period a 1986-1990 more intensive CHT with an own modified protocol VACA/VAIA and intensification phases containing cisplatinum, etoposide and/or carboplatinum were introduced. Twenty seven of 35 patients (60%) survived. Comparative analysis of the last two periods pointed to significant progress in treatment in III clinical group (IRS classification), (20.7% vs 62.9%) and parameningeal RMS (0% vs 58%). Meaningful improvement concerned also young children below 5 years of age (42.8% vs 73.9%). The main prognostic factors and treatment failures of the recent years were analyzed.
