Özet
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common childhood sarcoma, whereas, primary pararectal rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare. In children, the tumour presents as a perianal polypoid mass, and is often initially misdiagnosed. We present an infant with perianal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, which was misdiagnosed as a rectal prolapsus and was transferred to the department of pediatric surgery for further treatment of rectal prolapsus, which was irreducible. The tumour was excised; wound closed primarily and healed well rapidly. The diagnosis was confirmed by histologic examination.
