Abstract :

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), originated from skeletal muscle, is the most common soft tissue sarcoma encountered in childhood and adolescence, although varies considerably in frequency and type among different age groups. The common sites of occurrence are the head and neck region, genitourinary tract, retroperitoneum and to a lesser extent, the extremities. RMS involving extremities is rare, particularly involving small muscle groups. Here, we reported a rare case of embryonal RMS arising from extensor surface of right arm in a 28 year old female with its clinical, radiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings
