title: Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the sphenoid sinus.
abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a diagnostic and therapeutic problem in the management of childhood tumours. A case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma affecting the sphenoid sinus and involving the cavernous sinus is presented. It has become evident that modern combined modality therapy, including surgery when required, radiation and adjuvant multi-drug chemotherapy offers the best chance of survival.
