Rhabdomyoma of the head and neck demonstrated by prenatal magnetic resonance imaging.

A case of fetal rhabdomyoma (myxoid type) of the head and neck demonstrated on prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presented. This benign tumor of skeletal muscle is uncommon and should not be confused with its malignant counterpart-rhabdomyosarcoma. With the increasing use of ultrafast MRI, the radiologist is more likely to encounter head and neck masses in the fetus.
