Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma: presentation as a parotid gland mass.
Solid tumors occur infrequently during childhood. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma occurring in children. Therapeutic advances during the last 15 years have lead to a vast improvement in cosmetic and functional results and in overall survival. A case report of rhabdomyosarcoma of the parotid gland and a review of the literature are presented to highlight these advances.
