Abstract:

We report an interesting case of advanced rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in a teenage pregnancy leading to mortality. A 19 year old married girl presented with 8 months of amenorrhea and a wart like perianal lesion. She was lost follow up for a month and came in emergency in critical condition with septicaemia, hyperkalemia and acute renal failure (ARF). The wart sized lesion had progressed in a month to gross perianal mass which was extending inside pelvis up to the lower lumbar region. The patient succumbed within 8 hours of admission. On post-mortem histopathological examination, the lesion was diagnosed as a rhabdomyosarcoma.
