Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the common bile duct.

ABSTRACT

A two-and half-year-old boy presented with a short history of fever, jaundice and abdominal distension. At laparotomy, a rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) arising from the common bile duct (CBD) was found. The tumor including the CBD was successfully excised and a Roux-en-Y hepaticodochojejunostomy was performed. Postoperatively, the child received chemotherapy and is doing well on one-year follow-up the recent literature on the subject is reviewed.
