Abstract
Bony lesion by a rhabdomyosarcoma in a 54-year-old male was reported.
The patient sustained of open fractures of right femur, tibia and fibula complicating with hemothorax resulting from a traffic accident was admitted in our hospital. He had been recuperating after osteosynthesis untill osteomyelitis took place later. Ten months after the surgery he complained of progressive swelling and pain on the fractured region of the right lower leg. X-ray examination revealed suspecious signs of pathologic fracture. The diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma was established with pathohistological examination of biopsied specimens. He died of disseminated metastasis in spite of an amputation at the thigh.
