It predominantly occurs in children while rarely found in adults and involvement of the oral cavity accounts for only 10%–12% of all head-and-neck cases. Herewith, we present a rare case of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma in a 52-year old male, involving the mandibular gingiva, and describe the clinical, radiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings.
