Abstract:
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumour of striated muscles. It is usually encountered in children and rarely in adults. In this study we compared sex ratios, aetiologic factors, different localizations, development stages, modes of extension and treatment as well as prognosis in children and adults with cervicofacial localizations. The differences observed led to the conclusion that cervicofacial rhabdomyosarcomas in children and adults are two very different pathological entities.
