Rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx
Soheila Nikakhlagh1, Nader Saki2, Nepton Emad Mostofi3, Mehran Peyvasteh4ABSTRACT
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx is a very unusual neoplasm and delays in diagnosis are common because the presenting symptoms are often mistaken for inflammatory or benign laryngeal disease, therefore a high index of suspicion is necessary to make diagnosis. We report a 13 years old girl with diagnosis of laryngeal Rhabdomyosarcoma. The optimum treatment of head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma has not been defined. Therapeutic modalities include an aggressive surgery without major morbidity. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy is also preferred for the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma.
KEY WORDS: Rhabdomyosarcoma, Larynx.
