[Embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate. Report of a case and review of the literature].
OBJECTIVE
To report a new case of prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma in a child.


METHODS
Blood analysis, urinalysis, radiologic tests (abdominal ultrasound, intravenous urography, cystography, barium enema, lower extremities X-rays), and prostatic biopsy were performed.


CONCLUSIONS
Neoadjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy were started prior to intended radical prostatectomy, but the patient died before due to disease progression with dissemination.
