Rhabdomyomas are rare benign tumors arising from skeletal muscle cells, most common cardiac in origin and usually seen in pediatric age group, often associated with neurophakomatosis like tuberous sclerosis. Extracardiac tumors are rare and are classified based on histology into adult, fetal and genital forms. The adult form of extracardiac rhabdomyoma are seen in the head and neck region in vast majority of cases. These can occur within the pharyngeal or laryngeal compartments along with other neck spaces and the orbits. In this case report, we describe the findings of adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma and discuss the striking similarity with lymphomas on imaging.
横纹肌瘤是一种罕见的起源于骨骼肌细胞的良性肿瘤，最常见于心脏，通常见于儿童年龄组，常与结节性硬化症等神经皮肤综合征相关。心脏外的横纹肌瘤罕见，根据组织学可分为成人型、胎儿型和生殖器型。绝大多数心脏外横纹肌瘤的成人型见于头颈部区域。这些肿瘤可发生于咽或喉腔以及其他颈部间隙和眼眶内。在本病例报告中，我们描述了成人心脏外横纹肌瘤的影像学表现，并讨论了其与淋巴瘤在影像学上的显著相似性。
