Primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the diaphragm in a child: case report.
Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the diaphragm presenting as an epigastric mass is extremely rare, with only three published cases. We highlight the unique imaging features in a 2(1)/(2)-year-old boy which predicted the correct anatomical site preoperatively. Awareness of this rare tumour and its imaging characteristics should help in differentiating it from other more common tumours in this location, especially primary hepatic tumours.
