Abstract:
Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare subtype of adult soft tissue tumor, is characterized by specific histological and clinical features. This report presents a case of a 21-year-old woman with an intraosseous spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma in the left frontal region, a less common location in adults. The rarity and atypical presentation of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma in adults highlight the importance of thorough histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry in diagnosis. This case emphasizes the complexity of managing such tumors, showcasing the combination of surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions.
