“…Local recurrence of a rhabdomyoma is rare and has only been occasionally reported in the fetal type of rhabdomyoma [11]. Another report shows the recurrence of a congenital fetal rhabdomyoma 14 months after surgical excision [14]. In no instance has a rhabdomyoma been shown to demonstrate aggressive local growth or metastatic potential.…”

We report a rare case of cellular fetal rhabdomyoma in a 9-year-old male, in the unusual location of right lower thigh. These tumors are more common in the head and neck region; and this case the second such case to be reported in the thigh. Fetal rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor of the skeletal muscle, showing varying degrees of skeletal muscle maturation. The present report discusses the histopathological features, the differential diagnosis and the importance of making the correct diagnosis for proper management of this rare entity.

“…Cases of recurrence have been documented in man, attributable to incomplete removal [22]. As results of FNA and tru-cut biopsy were suggestive of a benign mesenchymal tumor, time was given in case of spontaneous regression, which has been reported in cases of some congenital mesenchymal tumors [7].…”

Extracardiac fetal rhabdomyoma is a rare tumor occurs almost exclusively in children under the age of 10 years with a predilection for the head and neck region and chest wall. It can occur in other sites also. However it is very rare in dorsum of foot. Rhabdomyoma accounts for less than 2% of all striated muscle tumors. Differentiation from Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma(ERMS) is very important to avoid aggressive treatment and its consequences. We have reported this case of extracardiac fetal rhabdomyoma of dorsum of foot in an eleven month old male child because of rarity of location which was surgically resected. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of extra cardiac fetal rhabdomyoma.
