Bilateral submandibular rhabdomyomas: case report

Rhabdomyoma is a benign tumour of striated muscle, and outside the heart they are rare and classified as adult, fetal, and genital subtypes.1 They are found twice as often in men as women, and commonly in adults over 40 years old.2 Of the 115 reported cases of extracardiac rhabdomyoma, 76% were found in the head and neck, but rarely in the submandibular space.3 We describe an exceptional example of bilateral rhabdomyomas in the submandibular spaces.
