Abstract

A case of parameningeal cervical rhabdomyosarcoma with severe bone destruction is reported in a 3 month-old infant; symptoms were present at birth. The treatment consisted of exclusive intensive chemotherapy. The outcome was favourable with complete tumor regression and vertebral bone reconstruction. The child was on complete remission without sequellae two years later.
