“…The embryonal RMS comprises about 60%-70% of RMS cases. 2 The diagnosis of RMS of middle ear is usually delayed because it is usually misdiagnosed because of its rare location and its initial symptoms which resemble otitis media and aural polyp . 3 It is thus very important to keep RMS in the differentials while dealing with otitis media or aural polyp.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common pediatric malignancy with a predilection for head and neck region. Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma is a variant of rhabdomyosarcoma which is extremely rare in middle ear. We present a case of middle year embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a five-year-old child who was treated as otitis media on first presentation and later misdiagnosed as a vascular aural polyp on histopathology.

The Rationale: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an uncommon tumour which presents at a wide variety of different head and neck sites. They are highly aggressive malignant mesenchymatous soft tissue sarcomas. Their occurrence in the outer ear is extremely rare. Patient Concerns: A 17-year-old female patient reported with a chief complaint of steady increase in growth over the left ear since 6 months, which is not associated with pain and ulceration. Diagnosis: Edge biopsy sections of the swelling over the left pinna and immunohistochemistry records of cells show MYODI positive confirming as Embryonal RMS. Treatment: Left auriculectomy and supra-omohyoid neck dissection with level V lymph node was performed. Outcomes: Uneventful postoperative healing in the resected site was elicited in the follow-up period of 1 year with no recurrence. Take-away Lessons: External ear RMS is extremely rare. Careful clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation are essential for prompt definitive diagnosis and for successful management.

Background Rhabdomyosarcoma is common in childhood, especially, the head and neck region, yet involvement of the temporal bone is rare. Case presentation We reported a case of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a 4.5-year-old boy presenting with external auditory canal polyp and purulent otorrhea that later developed grade 6 facial palsy. Imaging showed soft tissue mass involving the middle ear, mastoid cavity, parotid gland, and parapharyngeal space. Subtotal petrosectomy with blind closure of the external auditory canal was performed with facial nerve decompression and debulking biopsy followed by combined chemoradiation. Conclusion Middle ear rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare pathology, usually present in childhood by symptoms similar to suppurative otitis media not responding to medical treatment leading to delayed diagnosis and development of complications.
