Abstract
- Background: Adult rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor of the cardial und skeletal muscle system. Besides intracardiac rhabdomyomas, extracardiac localization as the head and neck region is seldom; multilocular appearance is rare.<br />Case: We report about a 45 year old male patient with dysphagia and a slowly progredient expansion lesion in the left neck region. After complete surgical resection, histological investigation confirmed the diagnosis of a multilocular adult rhabdomyoma.<br />Conclusion: Rhabdomyoma as a benign lesion could occur multilocular and simulate metastasis of a malign formation. To prevent local recurrent appearance, complete surgical resection is the best therapeutical option.
