Histologic Tumour types.
Table 2 shows the histologic types of the tumours seen. The commonest histologic tumour type was Rhabdomyosarcoma accounting for 73.2% of all tumours while giant cell tumour of soft tissue and alveolar soft part tumour were the least encountered (0.9% each). Among the 82 cases of rhabdomyosarcomas, the embryonal variant was predominantly seen 67 (81.7%). Other variants documented were the alveolar 8(9.8%), and pleomorphic 4(4.9%) variants, 3(3.7%) cases were classified as rhabdomyosarcoma not otherwise specified (NOS). The vasoformative sarcomas comprised 5 cases of Kaposi sarcoma and 1 case each of angiosarcoma and haemangiopericytoma. Other types are as classified in Table 2. There was no remarkable gender difference in the occurrence of the tumour subtypes (Table 2). Males had 4 tumours more than the females.
