Overview

abstract

• Rhabdomyosarcoma of soft tissue is the commonest sarcoma in pediatric medicine and comprises 15%25 of the solid tumors treated in pediatric oncology. It has an ample variety of clinical presentations in diverse organs and also presents a gamut of histopathological patterns, which sometimes make diagnosis difficult. We report two cases of rhabdomyosarcoma: one of the embryonic histological variety and the second one of the alveolar variety, which presented themselves in the preauricular and maseteric areas respectively. Both patients were male, diagnosed and treated.
