A case of rhabdomyosarcoma in a 14-year-female is reported herein. The patient developed left inguinal pain and tumor. She was initially seen by her local medical doctor, who biopsied her left inguinal tumor with a pathological report of malignancy. She was referred to the Ryukyu University Hospital in July, 1990. CT and MRI demonstrated a large tumor 10 cm in diameter arising from the left iliac region. The tumor was extirpated and the pathological report indicated rhabdomyosarcoma (alveolar type). The patient was treated with VAC chemotherapy and local irradiation. Her course has been uneventful for the past 2 years without any clinical manifestation of recurrence since surgery.
