Rhabdomyosarcoma of soft palate: a case of late relapse

J Laryngol Otol. 1985 Oct;99(10):1029-33. doi: 10.1017/s0022215100098121.

Abstract

A patient with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the soft palate is reported. The long disease-free interval is due to the success of the combined modalities of treatment and the late relapse is probably related to the biological activity of the tumour.
