Orthopaedic Implant-Associated Rhabdomyosarcoma
We found no genetic differences between implant-associated and non-implant-associated rhabdomyosarcomas. Further investigation is needed to understand the contribution of metallic implants to tumorigenesis. Physicians should be aware of this diagnosis when a new mass arises in a patient with long-standing orthopaedic implants.
