Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant, soft tissue neoplasm consisting of cells derived from the primitive mesenchyme that exhibit a profound tendency to undergo myogenesis. Multimodality therapy for tumors in the head and neck regions has a significant effect on maxillofacial skeletal growth, dental development, and the whole ecologic system of the oral cavity. Here we aimed to discuss the influence of head-neck cancer therapy in pediatric patients with long-term follow-up and present a case with implant-assisted dental rehabilitation and also functional and aesthetic outcomes.
