Abstract We describe the cytopathological picture of a cutaneous rhabdomyosarcoma located in the left nasal furrow of a 4‐mo‐old girl, some of whose close relatives have died or suffered from different types of neoplasias (Li‐Fraumeni syndrome). We believe that the cytological picture is highly characteristic and rules out other round cell tumours of childhood. We underline the usefulness of FNAC in dermatology and strongly advocate the introduction of this technique into the diagnostic armoury of every dermatologist.
