Abstract EN
Introduction.
Rhabdomyomas of the head and neck are exceptionally rare benign mesenchymal tumors.
Rare cases have been reported to involve other sites of the body including the head and neck regions.
Case Presentation.
We report a case of voluminous extracardiac adult rhabdomyoma affecting adult patients and initially seen as slowly growing, indolent neoplasms.
The patient is a seventy-year old male Italian patient.
Conclusion.
Adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor that may present with symptoms that vary from aerodigestive tract obstruction to remaining asymptomatic for many years.
Although histology is very characteristic, several differential diagnoses have to be considered.
To our knowledge, this is the first case of voluminous adult-type symptomless rhabdomyoma.
