Abstract:
We report a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with palpable right inguinal lymph node in a 6-year-old girl which developed rapidly on the right labia minora over a period of 2 montha. Histopathological study showed characteristic findings of spindle shaped rhabdomyoblast with hyperchromatic nuclei and cytoplasmicprocesses. After a preoperative chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin D, and cytoxan, the size of the mass was reduced, and lymph nodes were not palpable. And then, simple vulvectomy. postoperhtive cheirnatherapy and radiotherapy were done.
