[Rhabdomyosarcomas in the field of otorhinolaryngology]

The authors describe rabdomyosarcoma of different location in two patients of different age. One patient, 51 years old, had rabdomyosarcoma located in the larynx. Its detection was late because its late manifestation. The patient refused the suggested treatment and the issue was lethal within the first year after the first symptoms had been discovered. The second patient was a child, aged 5, with rabdomyosarcoma on the upper lip. The tumour was detected relatively early and it was cured (operatively, by radiation and chemio-therapy). Unfortunately the result was lethal two years after the beginning of the illness.
