“…About 15% of the patients with ARM present with multifocal lesions [6]. Table 1 shows all cases of multifocal adult-type rhabdomyoma in the head and neck found by searching PubMed/Medline with the key words multifocal, multilocular, and multicentric rhabdomyoma in the English, German, French, and Spanish literature.…”

Background. Adult rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumour with the differentiation of striated muscle tissue, which mainly occurs in the head and neck region. Twenty-six cases of multifocal adult rhabdomyoma are documented in the literature. Method. We report a 55-year-old male with simultaneous diagnosis of 7 adult rhabdomyomas and review the literature of multifocal adult rhabdomyoma. Result. Review of the literature revealed 26 cases of multifocal adult rhabdomyoma, of which only 7 presented with more than 2 lesions. Mean age at diagnosis was 65 years with a male to female ratio of 5.5 : 1. Common localizations were the parapharyngeal space (36%), larynx (15%), submandibular (14%), paratracheal region (12%), tongue (11%), and floor of mouth (9%). Besides the known radiological features of adult rhabdomyoma, our case showed FDG-uptake in (18) F-FDG PET/CT. Conclusion. This is the first case of multifocal adult rhabdomyoma published, with as many as 7 simultaneous adult rhabdomyomas of the head and neck.

Rhabdomyoma is an exceedingly rare soft tissue benign tumor of skeletal muscle origin classified into cardiac and extracardiac types based on location. Extracardiac rhabdomyoma is further classified into adult, genital, and fetal type depending on the degree of differentiation. Adult rhabdomyomas are rare, but morphologically characteristic, benign mesenchymal tumors with mature skeletal muscle differentiation that in 90% of cases arise in the head and neck region, mainly in the mucosa of the oropharynx, nasopharynx, and larynx, from the branchial musculature of third and fourth branchial arches. Most patients are between 40 and 70 years old, with a mean age of 60 years with a male predominance. Usually presenting symptoms include upper airway obstruction, Eustachian tube dysfunction, and mucosal or neck mass, but rarely does it arise as pure dysphagia. This article presents a case of parapharyngeal rhabdomyoma presenting with only progressive dysphagia.

Rhabdomyomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors with skeletal muscle differentiation and a predilection for the head and neck area. A 38-year-old man presented with persistent, slowly growing, painless swelling in the left inner cheek for 2½ years. The lesion was detected during routine dental examination and was considered to represent a mucocele. The mass was removed via a transoral surgical approach, followed by a local recurrence 6 months later that was again surgically removed. The patient is alive and well 2 months after last surgery. Adult-type rhabdomyoma is a rare, occasionally recurring, benign mesenchymal tumor that should be included in the differential diagnosis of submucosal swellings in the oral cavity including the masticatory musculature. Adult-type rhabdomyoma of the cheek and masticatory area are exceptionally rare with no more than 3 cases reported to date.
