[Report on a case of adult rhabdomyosarcoma subjected to tumorectomy and lobectomy].
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) rarely occurs in adult and intra thoracic activity. This is a report on a case we experienced of adult RMS, which was subjected to tumorectomy and lobectomy. The patient was a 23 years old male, who first consulted a hospital in his neighborhood due to anterior chest pain suffered since May 1995. Since the examination showed an abnormal shadow in right anterior mediastinum, the patient was referred to our department. By biopsy under CT, the patient was diagnosed as having embryonal type of RMS and underwent surgery. The outcome was good and the patient is currently in the course of chemotherapy using IRS (Inter-group Rhabdomyosarcoma study)-III.
