title: [Adult multilocular rhabdomyoma as a rare cause of dysphagia].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Adult rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor of the cardial und skeletal muscle system. Besides intracardiac rhabdomyomas, extracardiac localization as the head and neck region is seldom; multilocular appearance is rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report about a 45 year old male patient with dysphagia and a slowly progredient expansion lesion in the left neck region. After complete surgical resection, histological investigation confirmed the diagnosis of a multilocular adult rhabdomyoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Rhabdomyoma as a benign lesion could occur multilocular and simulate metastasis of a malign formation. To prevent local recurrent appearance, complete surgical resection is the best therapeutical option.
