【 摘 要 】

Rhabdomyomas  are rare benign tumors arising from skeletal muscle cells , most common cardiac in origin and usually seen in pediatric age group, often associated with neurophakomatosis like tuberous sclerosis . Extracardiac tumors are rare and are classified based on histology into adult, fetal and genital forms. The adult form of extracardiac rhabdomyoma are seen in the head and neck region in vast majority of cases. These can occur within the pharyngeal or laryngeal compartments along with other neck spaces and the orbits. In this case report, we describe the findings of adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma and discuss the striking similarity with lymphomas on imaging.
