Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the biliary tract. Including all the historical recent probable, and established cases that are carefully classified by Hayes and Synder, only 24 cases have been reported to date. Because of the extreme rarity of this tumor in this location, correct diagnosis was not made until second laparotomy or autopsy in several reported cases. The present report describes a child who recently underwent excision of such a tumor at our institution.
