Multidisciplinary approach of a locally advanced adult alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of paranasal sinuses: a case report and literature review

Abstract

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is a rare soft-tissue malignancy constituting less than 1% of soft-tissue sarcomas. In this article we are describing a rare case of ARMS arising in the paranasal sinuses of an adult patient. We emphasize the multidisciplinary treatment administered, thanks to which the patient remains alive and free of disease for six years after the initial diagnosis.
