| Abstract |
|
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin. It is relatively common in childhood but relatively rare in adults. Common primary sites are the head and neck, extremities, and genitourinary tract. Lung, bone, lymph node, and bone marrow are common metastasis sites. Histologically, it can be classified into embryonal, botryoid, alveolar, and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. The alveolar subtype accounts for approximately 20%, and its prognosis is poor. The management of rhabdomyosarcoma usually involves a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Metastatic pancreas rhabdomyosarcoma is rare. We experienced a case of alveolar-type maxillary rhabdomyosarcoma that metastasized to the pancreas, and we report this with a review of the literature. |
