Rhabdomyosarcoma in the head and neck may present with [[cranial nerve]] signs. Tumours in the genitourinary track present with the symptoms of [[dysuria]], [[hematuria]], or [[incontinence]]. Botryoid embryonal tumours of the urniary bladder and nasopharynx present as polypoid masses, comprised of hemorrhagic gelatinous cysts. In females, grapelike tumours protruding from the [[vagina]] should be considered rhabdomyosarcoma until proven otherwise. In the extremities, rhabdomyosarcoma are painful, and are characterised as rapidly growing masses. These are often solid, grey-white in colour, and are rarely larger than three to four centimetres.

Histologically, microanatomy of rhabdomyosarcoma reveals the presence of cross striations. Rhabdomyosarcoma in the head and neck may present with [[cranial nerve]] signs.

Botryoid embryonal tumours of the urniary bladder and nasopharynx present as polypoid masses, comprised of hemorrhagic gelatinous cysts.
