ABSTRACT

Rhabdomyosarcoma of soft tissue is the commonest sarcoma in pediatric medicine and comprehends 15% of the solid tumors treated in pediatric oncology. It has an ample variety of clinical presentations in diverse organs and also presents a gamut of histopathologic patterns which sometimes makes its diagnosis difficult. We report two cases of rhabdomyosarcoma: one of the embrionary histologic variety and the second one of the alveolar variety, which presented themselves in the preauricular and maseteric areas respectively. Both patients were male, diagnosed and treated at the Hospital Central “Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto” SSA in San Luis Potosí. SLP, Mexico.
