Maxillary rhabdomyossarcoma: case report

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) accounts for approximately half of all pediatric soft tissue sarcomas and 15% of all pediatric solid tumors. RMS is divided into 5 major histologic categories: embryonal, alveolar, botryoid embryonal, spindle cell embryonal, and anaplastic. Treatment is determined by the extent of disease, ease of resectability, and precise site. Superficially placed tumors can be managed either with excision and relatively non-toxic adjuvant chemotherapy or by biopsy. More deeply placed lesions generally are not removable and require radiation therapy and very aggressive chemotherapy.
