[Eight cases of rhabdomyosarcoma in head and neck]
1Department of Otolaryngology, Second Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou Medical College, Guangzhou 510260.
Objective:
To improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment level of rhabdomyosarcoma in head and neck.
Method:
It was based on the documents that 8 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma in head and neck had been diagnosed by pathological diagnosis.
Result:
The 8 cases were treated by operation. Among 8 patients, 5 took radiotherapy after operation. 1 took chemotherapy after operation. We kept in touch with 7 patients, the survival rate of 5 years was 57.1% (4/7).
Conclusion:
We must pay attention to the painful or painless phyma in the otolaryngology and head and neck. It has the possibility of being rhabdomyosarcoma. We diagnose the rhabdomyosarcoma through biopsy and immuohistochemistry and with the references from the examination of CT, MR. In order to improve the survival rate of patients of rhabdomyosarcoma, we should use the comprehensive treatment, including operation, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
