[Rhabdomyosarcoma of the nasopharynx occurring with immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin A. Apropos of a case].
The authors report the case of a 15 year old adolescent who presents a rhabdomyosarcoma of the rhinopharynx. This young patient underwent 23 months before a kidney transplantation and was since under immunosuppressing treatment including corticoids, azathioprine and cyclosporin A. The characteristics of this tumor make it probably induced by the therapeutic based on cyclosporin.
