title: Adult rhabdomyoma located near the thyroid gland. A case description.
abstract: A case of adult rhabdomyoma, a rare muscle-derived tumor, is described in a 40-year-old man. The tumor was located in close proximity to the thyroid gland and was initially misinterpreted as an adenoma of the gland. The most important differential diagnoses are discussed including methods available for differentiating those from rhabdomyoma.
