Abstract
- Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue tumor of childhood, frequently presenting in the head and neck, genitourinary tract, or extremities. We present a case of rhabdomyosarcoma in which an 18-year-old woman presented with abrupt onset unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, dysarthria, dysphagia, and a new painless red bump on the palate. With an alveolar subtype and older age, both predictors of poor prognosis, early recognition of disease of these symptoms is vital.
