Case report demonstrates multimodal treatment of rare nasopharyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma in a pediatric patient, highlighting the diagnostic role of immunohistochemistry and imaging.
Rhabdomyosarcomas is a soft tissue tumor with a highly invasive malignant cells that originate of the skeletal muscle cells, specially occurs in the head and neck regions, the presentation in the parameningeal region, including the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity, the presentation in the nasopharynx is infrequent. The diagnosis is confirmed by appropriate immunohistochemical stains, while conventional radiology is used for evaluating the primary tumor, determining the extension to nearby organs, and detecting any potential metastases. The treatment of nasal rhabdomyosarcoma is a real challenge given the unknown biological behavior of the pathology, the treatment is essentially based on surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
