Abstract
SummaryRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive malignant neoplasm of skeletal muscle origin that represents 50% of all soft tissue sarcomas in childhood, with most cases occurring in the head and neck. Within the microscopical patterns, the embryonal type is the most frequent in the oral cavity. This article describes a case of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a child. Clinical, imaginological, histological and immunohistochemical aspects are discussed.
