Abstract

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the parotid gland is a rare condition. The treatment should involve an aggressive multi-modality approach incorporating surgical removal of the tumour, radiotherapy, and multi-agent chemotherapy. The presentation of this condition along with the most appropriate line of treatment is discussed.
