Popis: Rhabdomiomas are rare mesenchymal benign tumors of striated muscle origin. Setting aside the cardiac (most atrial) rhabdomiomas typically associated to neurocutaneous syndromes (tuberous sclerosis), extracardiac rhabdomyomas appear clinically as a subcutaneous nodule or as a submucosal polypoid lesion. Among them, three main histologic subtypes can be differentiated on the basis of the degree of tumor differentiation: 1) fetal rhabdomioma, usually diagnosed during childhood and almost exclusively located in the in the head and neck region with rare reports in other locations; 2) adult rhabdomioma; and 3) genital rhabdomioma, reported to occur in the lower genital tract of young and middle-aged women and, exceptionally, in children (5).
