[Laryngeal rhabdomyoma].
Adults Rhabdomyoma are benign and rare tumors of skeletal muscle. The bibliography gathers about 60 cases, sitting on the head and the neck (95%), specially on the floor of the mouth, larynx or pharynx. Two exceptional case has been reported, one in the abdominal wall, the other on the retroperitoneal space, the latter being a mixed rhabdomyoma (either foetal and adult). Although the condition shows typical morphological features, the interest of the case reported, rely, apart of its scant presentation, on the possibility of leading to a mistaken clinic-macroscopic diagnosis of malignant mesenchymal tumor, because of its outward appearance.
