    Abstract

    Rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumour, majority arising from the cardiac muscle. Seventy to 90 percent of extra cardiac rhabdomyomas are found in the head and neck region, usually within the upper aero digestive tract. We report a case of rhabdomyoma of anterior neck in a neonate. Although rhabdomyomas of posterior neck have been reported, those reported in anterior triangle are infrequent. The lesion has not recurred one year after complete excision. There are no similar reports in Indian literature.
