Abstract :

Cervical lymphadenopathy due to metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), presenting without a recognizable primary tumour, is a rare entity. We report a case of 23 year male patient diagnosed with fine needle aspiration, histopathology and IHC (Immunohistochemistry) markers for definitive diagnosis. The immunohistochemical analysis revealed intense positivity for myogenin and desmin, favouring the diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
