- Abstract
- Rhabdomyosarcoma, which occurs in the head and neck, genitourinary tract and deep soft tissue of the extremities and typically presents in childhood or adolescence, is a malignant mesenchymal tumor showing differentiation of skeletal muscle. 1,2 Less than 3% of rhabdomyosarcoma cases present in adults. Although rhabdomyosarcoma frequently occurs in the head and neck region, involvement of the lips is very rare; only 8 cases have been reported in the English literature. 3-10 Conventionally, rhabdomyosarcoma is categorized into embryonal, alveolar and pleomorphic subtypes. 11 We report a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with clear cell features presenting as a perioral subcutaneous nodule on the upper lip of a 58-year-old woman. A review of the literature and possible differential diagnoses are described.
