We report a rare case of a young girl with an embryonal rhabdomyosarco
ma of the right aryepiglottic fold. Local disease recurrence, occurrin
g 7 years after subtotal resection and adjuvant chemotherapy, was stud
ied with plain radiography, CT and MRI. To the best of our knowledge,
this is the first report illustrating the MRI characteristics of a lar
yngeal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a child.
