Rhabdomyoma of the eyebrow region: a light- and electron microscopic study of a recurrent rhabdomyoma of fetal type.

A rhabdomyoma in the region of the right eyebrow in a 9-year-old boy is reported, which recurred 7 months after surgery. A local excision was performed, and the patient is free of disease 6 years later. Rhabdomyomas are exceedingly rare tumors. Hitherto only three unequivocal cases of orbital rhabdomyomas have been observed. A rhabdomyoma of the eyebrow region has to our knowledge not been described. Local excision is sufficient. In particular, a differential diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma has to be excluded.
