PERINEAL LOCALIZATION OF RHABDOMYOSARCOMA IN CHILDREN

Avola E.1, Lastella G.1, Esposito A.2

Rhabdomyosarcoma is one of the most common tumors in the pediatric age, but perineal localization is very rare, with a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis. Magnetic resonance (MR) is a non-invasive technique that is very useful in the evaluation of local infiltration and can facilitate the diagnosis. In this article, we present a case of perineal rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed with pelvic MR, with simultaneous presence of multiple synchronous metastases.
