[Rhabdomyosarcoma of parotid gland in 4 years old boy].
The author described the case of parotid gland rhabdomyosarcoma in 4 years old boy. As there was no parents agreement to initial, radical surgical treatment, the patient underwent chemo- and radiotherapy, after which temporary remission of the disease was observed. The surgical treatment was performed for local recurrence, but despite radical parotidectomy, which was done, the progression of disease was occurred (with local recurrence and bone metastases). The patient died 3 years after initial diagnosis.
