title: [Rhabdomyosarcoma of the skin].
abstract: Rhabdomyosarcomas are malignant tumors, and especially occur in childhood. In adults they are extremely rare. A pleomorphe rhabdomyosarcoma of the skin, localized on the nose of an 85-year old female patient, is reported. After surgical removal the defect was reconstructed with a full skin graft. The four histologic types of rhabdomyosarcoma (pleomorphic, alveolair, embryonal, botryoid) are discussed.
