Abstract

Extracardiac fetal rhabdomyoma is a rare tumor occurs almost  exclusively in children under the age of 10 years with a predilection for the head and neck region and chest wall. It can occur in other sites also. However it is very rare in dorsum of foot. Rhabdomyoma  accounts for less than 2% of all striated muscle tumors. Differentiation from Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma(ERMS) is very important to avoid aggressive treatment and its consequences. We have reported this case of extracardiac fetal rhabdomyoma of dorsum of foot in an eleven month old male child because of rarity of location which was surgically resected. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of extra cardiac fetal rhabdomyoma.
