| description | Alveolar-type rhabdomyosarcoma of head and neck region in adult is extremely rare. We
report a case of a 33-year-old lady who presented with persistent right unilateral nasal obstruction
and epistaxis for one months’ duration. Examination showed a fleshy, irregular-surfaced mass occupying
the whole right nasal cavity and histopathological examination revealed alveolar-type rhabdomyosarcoma.
Metastatic work-up showed pulmonary metastasis. After 3 months following
completion of four cycles of chemotherapy, a repeated scan showed significant shrinkage of the
tumor. |
