Case Report and review of the literature: esophageal pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma
Our case represents one of the few reported instances of esophageal rhabdomyosarcoma, a highly rare and aggressive malignancy, and provides valuable insights into the challenges of diagnosing and managing this disease. Moreover, this is one of the first cases of esophageal rhabdomyosarcoma followed up for more than 24 months. However, given the paucity of data on esophageal rhabdomyosarcoma, there remains a significant unmet need for more comprehensive studies to establish standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.
