Abstract
Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the diaphragm presenting as an epigastric mass is extremely rare, with only three published cases, We highlight the unique imaging features in a 2 1/2-year-old boy which predicted the correct anato mical site preoperatively. Awareness of this rare tumour and its imaging ch aracteristics should help in differentiating it from other more common tumo urs in:this location, especially primary hepatic tumours.
