A nurse is assessing a pediatric client who is exhibiting manifestations of rhabdomyosarcoma. In which area of the body should the nurse expect to find a tumor?

A. Ribs are not a typical location for rhabdomyosarcoma, which primarily affects soft tissue. While it can occur in any area of the body, tumors most commonly develop in the muscles, such as in the upper leg. B. Upper leg is the most common site of rhabdomyosarcoma in children. This cancer originates in the soft tissues, particularly skeletal muscles. C. Head is a less common site for rhabdomyosarcoma, although it can occur in the head or neck region. However, the upper leg is more frequently affected. D. Spine is not a typical location for rhabdomyosarcoma. While other sarcomas can affect bones and tissues of the spine, rhabdomyosarcoma generally affects soft tissues like muscles and tendons.
