Abstract
- A rare case of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is encountered and we report the case with the literature review of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The occurrence of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is rather uncommon. Most embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma occurs in children younger than 12 years of age, and in adult, the incidence is only 10%, Recently, we experienced a case of adult embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma originating in the nasal cavity. The clinical course and the possible management of this unusual neoplasm are discussed.
