| Popis: | Although the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in children, rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is rare in adults. We report 2 cases of adult RMS. Case 1: A 59-year-old man seen for a large right-neck mass was found in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to have an enhanced mass in the right ethmoid sinus with bone destruction and multiple bilateral cervical lymph nodes, but was no evident distant metastasis. Tumor biopsy showed alveolar rhabdosarcoma. The man was treated with chemoradiotherapy, but died of multiple metastases 5 months after treatment. Case 2: A 75-year-old woman was found in cranial MRI to have a right ethmoid sinus mass confirmed in CT to involve bone destruction, but no evident metastasis. The pathological diagnosis was embryonal rhabdosarcoma. After a poor result with chemoradiotherapy, the woman underwent surgery, and remains alive without local reccurence or distant metastasis in the 26 months since surgery. |
