Abstract

Sarcomas are common malignant tumors of the ear and temporal bone in pediatric patients. Rhabdomyo-sarcomas are the most common in this group. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the soft tissue tumor especially in children under 5 years of age. The embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma subtype is the most common. Clinical-ly, the patient usually presents with a history of middle ear or outer ear infection that has not responded to treatment. In this article, we discuss a 4-year-old pediatric patient with a history of recurrent otitis media, who was referred to our clinic because of new-onset peripheral facial paralysis and whose biopsy result was rhabdomyosarcoma.

Özet

Pediatrik hastalarda sarkomlar, kulak ve temporal kemiğin sık görülen malign tümörlerindendir. Bu grup içerisinde en sık görülen rabdomyosarkomlardır. Rabdomyosarkom, özelikle 5 yaş altı çocuklarda en sık karşılaşılan yumuşak doku tümörüdür. En sık embriyonel rabdomyosarkom alt tipi görülmektedir. Has-ta klinik olarak, genellikle tedaviye yanıt vermemiş orta kulak veya dış kulak yolu enfeksiyonu hikaye-si ile başvurmaktadır. Bu makalede tekrarlayan otit hikayesi olan, yeni başlayan periferik fasiyal paralizi nedeniyle kliniğimize refere edilen ve cerrahide alınan biyopsi sonucu rabdomyosarkom olarak gelen 4 yaşında bir çocuk hastamız tartışılmıştır.
