“…Prior case reports related to mandibular RMS were reported in India [ 23 , 24 ] which call for attention to the increased incidence of mandibular RMS in the South Asian population. However, these cases depicted primary malignant RMSs, whereas the presented case showed SC-RMS occurring as a metachronous neoplasm 4 years after the presentation of SCCOT.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. It is a commonly encountered malignant tumor amongst pediatric patients, yet relatively rare in adults. It usually involves the head and neck region, genitourinary organs and retroperitoneal structures. In adults, the most commonly affected area is the head and neck region. We present here a case of a 30-year-old male patient with a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (T1, N0, M1), successfully cured with surgery and chemoradiotherapy and later on development of metachronous ipsilateral lesion on the left lower alveolus. Biopsy was consistent with spindle cell RMS. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated positivity for desmin, vimentin and myogenin, thus confirming the mesenchymal origin. With the best of our literature search, this is an exceptional case presenting two malignant lesions with diverse genetic origins, diagnosed at stage 1 and giving a favorable outcome.

“…Only 17 cases have been reported in the indexed journals till date involving intraoral mucosa according to our review of the literature. [ 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ] Intraoral site involvement in a patient nearer to adult age is extremely rare, and the manner by which panel of immunohistochemical markers had been used to confirm the diagnosis makes this case unique.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the malignant neoplasm of striated muscle and a relatively uncommon tumor of the oral cavity. Embryonal variety is the most common subtype, observed in children below 10 years of age but occasionally seen in adolescents and young adults. The present report describes a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the left posterior buccal mucosa, with extension in the adjacent alveolus, soft palate, oropharynx and nasopharynx of a 17-year-old female.
