[Primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma: a case report].
We report a case of primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma in a 52-year-old woman. The diagnosis was established after radical right pneumonectomy, mainly based on immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy findings. This type of tumor is rare in adults. Its primary origin is suggested when a pulmonary meta-stasis of rhabdomyosarcoma from another site or a component of a mixed tumor are ruled out. The best treatment is surgery. The prognosis is poor.
