Abstract EN
Introduction : Although embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (ERMS) represent the most common (50% - 60%) clinical form of rhabdomyosarcoma, these are extremely rare in adult’s vocal cords.
To date, only five cases of laryngeal ERMS have been reported in adults and only one of them involved the vocal cords.
Case Presentation : Herein, we reported a case of a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with ERMS, T1N0M0 stage, localized at the right vocal cord.
Tumor was successfully treated with a radical excision and selective neck dissection and followed-up for 5 years with no evidence of local recurrence.
Conclusions : Immunohistochemistry combined with computerized tomography (CT) and color Doppler solography of the neck and thorax should be performed.
This study suggested that surgical resection was suitable for the treatment of this disease and reported the evaluations of an extremely rare case for five years.
