Extra-cardiac rhabdomyomas are rare benign soft tissue tumors accounting for 2% of sk eletal muscle neoplasms. Oral cavity and pharynx are the most common sites for rhabdomyomas origina ting from the head and neck region. The presenting symptom for head and neck rhabdomyomas may change according to tumor size and location. The main treatment modality is total surgical excision.In this study, we aimed to report an adult hypopharyngeal rhabdomyoma case presenting with dysphagia and globus sensation and to discuss head and neck extra-cardiac rhabdomyomas reported in the literature. ÖZET Ekstra-kardiyak rabdomiyomlar iskelet kası neoplazmlarının %2'sini oluşturan iyi huylu yumuşak doku tümörleridir. Baş boyun bölgesi kaynaklı rabdomiyomlar en çok oral kavite ve farenksten köken alır. Baş boyun rabdomiyomlarında başvuru şikayetleri tümör boyutu ve lokasyonuna göre değişebilir. Temel tedavi yöntemi total cerrahi eksizyondur. Biz bu çalışmada disfaji ve boğazda takılma şikayeti ile başvuran erişkin bir hipofarenks rabdomiyomu olgusunu sunmayı ve baş boyun bölgesi kaynaklı ekstrakardiyak rabdomiyomları tartışmayı planladık.

“…On histopathologic examination; the tumor cells contain peripherally located nucleus, vacuoles and prominent nucleoli surrounded with eosinophilic and glycogen rich cytoplasm in rhabdomyomas (7,12). The adult type extra-cardiac rhamdomyomas contain less organized myofibrils compared to fetal type (13).…”

“…Rhabdomyomas may be encountered as a component of the malignant germ cell tumours of the pineal gland and suprasellar region, particularly in immature teratomas. Skeletal muscle differentiation can also rarely be seen in glycosarcomas (Goldman, 1969), gliomas and meningio mas (Ferracini et a l, 1982; Burger and Scheithauer, 1994 Kapadia et a l, 1993). The four year follow-up time free of recurrent disease confirmed the benign character of the lesion.…”

“…Therefore, the tumour is found most frequently in the region of the larynx, pharynx, floor of the mouth and base of the tongue (Solomon and ToleteVelcek, 1975;Enzinger and Weiss, 1988). Both adult and foetal type rhabdomyomas are more common in males (Agamanolis et al, 1986;Kapadia et al, 1993). Recently a juvenile-type of rhabdomyoma has been described which appears as an intermediate form between the foetal-and adult-type (Nakheh et a l 1991;Crotty et a l, 1993).…”

Unilateral hearing loss due to a rhabdomyoma in a six-year-old child J. P. P. M . v a n L e e u w e n * , M. Pruszczynski1\ H. A . M . M a r r e s *, J. A . G r o t e n h u i s $ , C. W . R. J. C r e m e r s* « Abstract A case report of a six-year-old child is presented, who had had a unilateral sensorineural hearing loss for several years. Because of impairment in the ABR as well as in the caloric testing a MRI and CT scan were performed. A 17 mm tumour in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) was detected, which after suboccipital surgery proved to be a rhabdomyoma. This tumour has not been described before in the CPA. Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss should, at all ages, be an indication for further (radiodiagnostic) investigations.

Background: Adult rhabdomyoma (ARh) is a rare benign tumor of skeletal muscle origin. ARh occurs mainly in the head and neck region. This report details the surgical excision of a large multinodular ARh in the base of the tongue that was causing severe sleep apnea. Findings:Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the base of the tongue was almost completely replaced by a 6 cm × 8 cm tumor.Methods: Conservative surgical excision was done by submental midline approach with hyoid bone split.Results: Surgery improved the patient's sleep apnea without damaging the swallowing function. The patient was able to secede from nasal continuous positive airway pressure and has remained symptom-free for 12 months postoperatively. Conclusions:This newly designed approach is suitable for excision of benign tumors in the base of the tongue to obtain a patent airway without damaging the function of the tongue base.
