We report on a patient who presented to the ENT service with right side nasal obstruction. Imaging studies revealed an aggressive non-calcified solid heterogeneous mass centered in the right naso ethmoidal region. The mass was hyper enhanced following contrast media administration. The patient underwent partial tumor resection and a biopsy was performed confirming the presence of Solid Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient was treated with chemo-radiation therapy.
