“…In the oral cavity, the tongue and the floor of the mouth are favored sites. 24 Pharyngeal sites have been recorded from the base of the skull to the piriform fossa. 26 In the larynx, the tumors may arise in any portion, but there is a slightly higher incidence in the vocal Judging from a rather garbled literature, the 3 aforementioned regions have been nearly equally involved, and the sites of incidence follow the musculature of the neck.…”

“…Ultrastructural studies have confirmed that extracardiac rhabdomyomas originate in skeletal muscle. 24 All studies have shown that the tumors reproduce striated-muscle myofibrillar structure, but there is a disturbance of the regular myofibril pattern. ""'s All tumors have Z bands and attached thin filaments forming I bands.…”

Benign and malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal cells destined to become lipoblasts and myoblasts affect the head and neck with contrasting frequencies. Lipomas and especially liposarcomas are unusual lesions above the clavicles but when found there behave in a biologic manner identical to that of their counter-parts at other anatomic sites. Myogenic tumors, on the other hand, have a predilection for the head and neck, and for rhabdomyosarcomas this predilection is accentuated in childhood. Combination therapy of rhabdomyosarcomas has obviated radical surgery as a method of treatment, and many sites in the head and neck have benefited prognostically by this treatment. Success, however, is dependent on clinical stage of disease, and rhabdomyosarcomas of the nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, and middle ear remain more resistant to short-term cures because of the extent of the neoplasm. A review of the clinicopathologic aspects of granular-cell tumors and alveolar soft-part sarcomas is also presented because it has been suggested that these tumors have a myogenous origin.
