Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood, but it is rare in young adults. It usually occurs in the pelvis or genito-urinary tract. We report a case of abdominal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma who received a combined treatment modality with radical pelvic surgery and combination chemotherapy of vincristine, actinomycin-D and cyclophosphamide (VAC). She is well with no evidence of tumour recurrence for 3 years after primary surgery.
