Abstract

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck is very rare in adults. We report a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the nasal cavity, occuring in a 24-year-old male patient presenting with left nasal obstruction, ipsilateral eye and cheek pain and multiple neck nodules. Rhabdomyosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of poorly defined soft tissue mass of the nasal cavity not only in children, but also in adults.
