Rhabdomyoma of the abdominal wall: resection based upon computerized tomographic characteristics

A unique report of an abdominal wall rhabdomyoma is presented. The rarity of this tumor may lead to confusion with a malignant neoplasm. Computerized axial tomography localized the tumor to a specific muscle group and demonstrated absence of invasion into surrounding tissues. Computerized tomography...

Zusammenfassung:	A unique report of an abdominal wall rhabdomyoma is presented. The rarity of this tumor may lead to confusion with a malignant neoplasm. Computerized axial tomography localized the tumor to a specific muscle group and demonstrated absence of invasion into surrounding tissues. Computerized tomography is valuable in the assessment of abdominal wall tumors and provides useful information in planning an operative approach.
