Lymph node enlargement due to metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, without an obvious primary tumor, is rare. We report a fine-needle aspiration diagnosed and histopathologically confirmed case of solid variant of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a 13-year-old female. She presented with right cervical lymphadenopathy, followed by a diffuse swelling in right forearm 2 months later.
