Distinct clonal evolution in a case with anaplastic embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

This study highlights intratumoral heterogeneity and distinct clonal change related to the functional context in our anaplastic ERMS case, supporting the concept of intratumoral heterogeneity and clonal evolution. It requires further case collection to reveal whether p14ARF-p53-MDM2 tumor suppressor pathway alteration, considered a late event in ERMS tumorigenesis, is responsible for anaplasia in ERMS.
