Adult parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma--a case report and literature review.
Although rhabdomyosarcoma is predominantly a malignant disease of children, it is also seen in adults. Since adults account for only 15% of rhabdomyosarcomas, the experience gathered for the treatment of the malignancy has been derived from treating children. The treatment of a case of adult extensive parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma with CyVADlC chemotherapy and radiotherapy is described, together with a review of the literature.
