RHABDOMYOSARCOMA OF THE EXTERNAL EAR CANAL

Rhabdomyosarcoma, is the most common soft tissue tumor that can be seen under 5 years old children. "Embrionel" rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common subgroup. The lesions originated from middle ear cleft are misdiagnosed as chronic otitis media at the beginning. When superficial biopsy is performed, inflamatory granulomatous tissue can only be found. In this article, by presenting a case in which the first symptom arised at three months of age and the diagnosis was made at sixteen months, we aimed to emphasize the significance of this disease in the differential diagnosis of otitis media.
