This case highlights a primary cutaneous rhabdomyoma presenting as a slowly enlarging subcutaneous nodule on the mentum of an 82-year-old White man with a medical history of two intracranial rhabdomyomas. Although they are rarely syndromic, it is important to note that the most common demographic for presentation of rhabdomyomas includes older males presenting as a subcutaneous nodule on the head, neck, or oral cavity. They are most often seen in isolation but can be multifocal in up to 25% of all cases. Being a rare entity, there is no generally recognized treatment consensus; however, complete surgical excision is recommended to prevent recurrence and morbidity from local tissue destruction. |
