Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor originating from skeletal muscle.
  • These tumors most commonly occur in the head and neck region in adult patients.
  • Tongue involvement represents an unusual presentation of this rare neoplasm.

Observation:

  • A case of rhabdomyoma presenting as a distinct mass within the tongue musculature is described.
  • Clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and surgical intervention are detailed.
  • The macroscopic and microscopic pathological features of the excised tumor are analyzed.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of rhabdomyoma.
  • The tumor exhibited characteristic features of mature skeletal muscle cells.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Complete surgical excision was performed with no immediate complications.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known anatomical distribution of adult rhabdomyomas.
    • It highlights the importance of considering rare soft tissue tumors in the differential diagnosis of tongue masses.
    • Understanding the treatment and evolution of lingual rhabdomyoma contributes to the literature on benign oral cavity neoplasms.
