PMCID: PMC2625731  PMID: 3071608

Abstract

A case report of a man with a huge, left-sided diaphragmatic rhabdomyosarcoma is presented. The mass was attached to the lung, pericardium, left phrenic nerve, sternum, and chest wall. Enbloc resection of the tumor was done with primary repair of the diaphragmatic defect. Only three reported cases of primary diaphragmatic rhabdomyosarcoma were found in the literature.
