Rhabdomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumour that may present at a wide variety of different sites. We report a 4-year-old girl who developed an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma arising in the left pinna which was clinically indistinguishable from a lymphangioma. The case illustrates that this neoplasm can be easily misdiagnosed because of its variable morphology. Early recognition is important as successful treatment is now possible with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiotherapy.
横纹肌肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，可出现在多种不同部位。我们报告一名4岁女孩，她患了起源于左耳廓的胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤，临床上与淋巴管瘤难以区分。该病例表明，由于其形态多样，这种肿瘤很容易被误诊。早期识别很重要，因为现在通过化疗、手术和/或放疗相结合，成功治疗是可能的。
