Abstract
The authors present the case of a 1 year and 7 months old girl, with no medical history, initially diagnosed with left preauricular adenopathy, which increased in volume progressively, despite 12 days of antibiotic therapy. This report presents the causes of latero-cervical adenopathy and the main tumor etiologies with preauricular and parotid localization. The clinical case presented a challenge in clarifying the final diagnosis – high-risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
