Abstract

Surgery in adults with head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma does not improve survival rates. Surgery should be performed deliberately and focused on the timing of combined treatment modality. Adult head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma benefits from salvage surgery following chemoradiotherapy.

Keywords: nasopharngeal carcinoma; paranasal sinus diseases; radiology.
