A case with double fusion of ALK and TFCP2 was reported in rhabdomyosarcoma for the first time in this study, which provides information on the molecular characteristic of the tumour. Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma with FET::TFCP2 fusion is characterised by histological, immunohistochemical and genetic changes. The tumour is aggressive, with poor prognosis and poor response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The efficacy of targeted therapy for ALK should be explored through more clinical studies.
