摘要

Rhabdomyosarcoma(RMS) is a malignant tumor arising from skeletal tissue. It is the most common sarcoma of childhood comprising of 3-4% of childhood malignancies with 2/3rd of cases being reported in children below age of 10 years. Adult rhabdomyosarcoma is rare, and with involvement of hand is still rarer. In this present report we document the clinical, radiological and histopathological findings of a 18 year old male with rhabdomyosarcoma of hand whose FNAC & Incisional biopsy suggested Synovial sarcoma and MRI gave a provisional diagnosis of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis.
