Abstract:
Extracardiac rhabdomyoma is an extremely uncommon benign neoplasm with skeletal muscle differentiation which usually involves the head and neck region. We report two cases of extracardiac adult rhabdomyoma affecting adult patients and initially seen as slowly-growing, indolent neoplasms. In both cases, an asymptomatic neck mass was noticed by the patient. Complete local excision without radical surgery was performed and histological findings confirmed the diagnosis of adult rhabdomyoma. Adult rhabdomyomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the head and neck region.
