Adult-Onset Supraglottic Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the larynx is an exceedingly rare malignancy in adults, typically arising in the pediatric population. We report a case of a 60-year-old male presenting with hoarseness, dysphagia, and intermittent stridor. Laryngoscopic examination revealed a large supraglottic mass with white necrotic debris. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. This case underscores the importance of considering non-epithelial malignancies in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal tumors and highlights the role of immunohistochemistry in diagnosis.
