Could we add a synonym of "Spindle Cell/Sclerosing Rhabdomyosarcoma" for DOID:3260 (spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma) to match ICDO recommendations.

Hi Obi, Thanks for reaching out. We're happy to fill this request. Would you like both of those synonyms added?

I noticed that this disease is also currently lacking a definition. If you're able, could you share a source that we can use to create one and/or recommend a definition? A good definition would include the distinguishing characteristics of 'spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma' relative its parent 'embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma' (DOID:3246), which has the definition:

"A rhabdomyosarcoma wherein the mesenchymally-derived malignant cells resemble the primitive developing skeletal muscle of the embryo; it occurs most often in the head and neck area or in the genital or urinary organs."
