An embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a primitive, malignant, soft tissue sarcoma that recapitulates the phenotypic and biological features of embryonic skeletal muscles. Occurrence of intraoral ERMS in adults is extremely rare. This unique case report highlights the clinical, radiographic, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of an intraoral ERMS.
