Relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has several therapeutic challenges. The novel treatment for relapsed RMS was surgical management, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Reoccurrence significantly occurs in children and adolescents. RMS occurs anywhere in the body but mostly occurs in the legs, head, neck, urinary, and reproductive systems. Here, we present the case of a 19-year-old female who came to the emergency department with complaints of swelling in the left side of the neck that extended toward the face and left eye, breathlessness, and vomiting for one month. She has a history of peripheral nerve sheath tumor and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Surgical management was done through excision of the mesenchymal tumor surgery, and the patient's prognosis was good.
