Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma, a tumor of skeletal muscle origin, is a commonly seen carcinoma in children and adolescent age. It is associated with orbit, paranasalsinuses, soft tissues of cheek and neck1. But if referred to oral cavity, it is quiet uncommon. Here, we report a case of 17 year old boy with a swelling on tongue which appeared benign, but proven otherwisehistopathologically.
