Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft‑tissue sarcoma in children. The present study reports the case of a 2‑year‑old female who presented with abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Radiological investigations failed to reveal the tissue origin of the mass and a tru‑cut biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of embryonal RMS. Surgical excision was performed after neo‑adjuvant chemotherapy. The pelvic end of the mass was observed to continue with the left medial umbilical ligament. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and follow‑up imaging showed no evidence of recurrence. Τhe present case report is the first non‑syndromic case with left umbilical medial ligament‑originated RMS.
