Abstract:
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is commonly seen in young children, its occurrence in the adult population is rare. Here, we describe a 36-year-old male with the diagnosis of adult embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma who was admitted with two large masses protruding from the left side of the neck and lower trunk. Diagnosis was established through biopsy and immunohistochemical studies of the masses. Treatment included surgical resection along with chemotherapy and radiotherapy with complete resolution of masses. Furthermore, a follow-up was scheduled 12 months post-treatment.
