DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.05.054
Abstract: BACKGROUND Primary intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma is a very rare malignant tumor. Owing to moderately vascular and firm characteristics of the tumor, complete removal without complications is often difficult. In pediatric patients, the volume of total blood… read more here.
