ABSTRACT

The case report of a 58 years patient is presented, who was assisted in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service from "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, for presenting an increase of volume in the posterior face of the left thigh, of stony consistency and adhered to deep planes, not painful to the superficial or deep palpation, besides paresthesia in left thigh and leg. The results of the clinical, imagenological and histopathological studies allowed to diagnose a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, for which medical and surgical treatment was indicated, as well as oncology follow-up.
