RESUMO
We present one rare case of multifocal rabdomyoma in the cervical region and chest. We describe the presentation, clinical, special tests done for the diagnosis and localization. Therefore we present the type of the treatment and evolution post therapy. We review the literature.

Se presenta un caso infrecuente de rabdomioma multifocal con una localización cervical y otra torácica no aparecida anteriormente en la literatura.Se describe la forma de presentación, las técnicas exploratorias realizadas para llegar a su diagnóstico y localización; el tratamiento utilizado así como la evolución inmediata posoperatoria y seguimiento.Por otro lado, se expone una revisión bibliográfica de lo existente hasta ahora en relación a este tipo de tumor, con esta peculiar y poco frecuente forma multifocal de presentación, y las diferentes localizaciones descritas por otros

Deliberate inhalation of volatile substances is a common and harmful practice among young persons worldwide. Recently, we described chromosome damage in children who chronically inhale volatile agents. Clinical and cytogenetic studies were performed for 15 "sniffing" children (13 boys and 2 girls), the purpose of which was to define the chromosomal effect of the acute intoxication. A significant increase in the rate of chromosome abnormalities and in the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was found in sniffers vs. controls. The values were also higher in children who were acutely intoxicated than in those who chronically inhaled volatile agents. Clinical, socioeconomic, and cytogenetic findings are also discussed.

Deliberate inhalation of volatile substances is a common and harmful phenomenon among young persons around the world. Clinical and cytogenetic studies were performed in 35 children (33 boys and 2 girls) chronically habituated to inhalation of volatile agents, with the aim to define whether this practice is associated with chromosome abnormalities and if so to what extent. A significant increase in the rate of chromosome abnormalities and in the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) was found in sniffers over the values in controls (p less than 0.001). Clinical, socioeconomic, and cytogenetic findings are discussed.
