Abstract

We report a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the infratemporal region in a female child. An 8year old female was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma 10 years ago. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed large mass in the right pterygopalatine fossa extending into the buccal, masticator and parapharyngeal spaces with involvement of the pterygoid and masseter muscles.

Several multidisciplinary discussions were held concerning the case to determine the best treatment strategy. Child received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy. Six months post radiotherapy, CT scan reported a residual lesion for which multiple biopsies showed no residual tumor.

Patient is doing well 10 years after treatment with no evidence of recurrence,

Notably, this was the first case discussed at the inception of the pediatric multidisciplinary tumor board.

在资源有限的情况下，多学科癌症治疗方法前景光明

我们报告了一例颞下部肺泡横纹肌肉瘤病例。10年前，一名8岁女童被诊断患有肺泡横纹肌肉瘤。计算机断层扫描（CT）显示，右侧翼腭窝有大块肿物，并延伸至颊腔、咀嚼肌和咽旁间隙，翼状肌和咀嚼肌也受累。患儿接受了新辅助化疗和放疗。放疗后 6 个月，CT 扫描显示有残留病灶，多次活检显示无肿瘤残留。治疗 10 年后，患者情况良好，无复发迹象。
