Sarcomas are extremely complex and heterogeneous group of malignancies. However, exact categorization of the type of sarcoma is essential for the individualized approach for a given patient. It is mandatory that sarcomas should be treated in tertiary care centers with good pathology support and expertise. Here, we present an apt example of a young girl with large abdominal mass which was diagnosed as ovarian rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Besides, her excellent response to RMS regimen further reinforces the findings.
