Popis:	Rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck often presents with vague symptoms which mimic other disease conditions. These factors lead to undue delay in the establishment of the correct diagnosis and the delivery of acceptable therapy, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. There is, however, evidence of improved results of treatment of these tumors since the addition of multiple drug chemotherapy to surgery and radiotherapy.
