Abstract
Sites in the head and neck region are among the most frequent location s of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in patients younger than 15 years. However , comparable neoplasms in adults are very uncommon. We present a case report of a 27-year-old man who was diagnosed as having RMS. RMS rarel y presents in the head and neck of adults, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a small cell neoplasm in patients durin g the third and fourth decades of life.
