Abstract
A case of rhabdomyoma in a 71-yr-old woman is reported. The lobulated, soft tumor was situated in the left tonsillar region. It was encapsulated, easily removable and of a uniformly greyish-red color on the cut surface. Both light microscopy and EM showed the classical features of a benign rhabdomyoma of adult type, with large spider cells and typical myofilaments, and Z-band fragments. To achieve the correct diagnosis in such cases the most important thing is probably to bear the possibility of this rare, but benign, tumor in mind.Keywords
