ABSTRACT
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric and adolescent population. While they can develop anywhere in the body, the genitourinary tract is the second most common primary location for an RMS to develop. Here we report a case of 2 year old male patient who have presented with the complaints of perianal rash and difficulty in voiding for 2 weeks. According to the histopathological and immunohistochemical report, it was diagnosed as an embryonic variety of rhabdomyosarcoma. The child was categorised as being in the group lll, stage lll, intermediate risk category of embryonal RMS. Furthermore, we discuss about the clinical, radiological, immunohistochemical findings, and management of the aforementioned RMS case.
Key words: Rhabdomyosarcoma, cystoprostatectomy, immunohistochemistry, chemotherapy
