Figure 1 Computed tomography shows a subcutaneous mass in the left temporal region without skull destruction.
Figure 2 Computed tomography shows a soft tissue mass in the left temporal region and destruction of the adjacent skull.
Figure 3 Magnetic resonance imaging shows a mass in the left temporal muscle, with obvious enhancement around the tumor, but no enhancement in the center of the tumor.
Figure 4 Pathological examination revealed a tumor composed of mildly atypical spindle cells arranged in a crossed bundle or spiral, and with a few rhabdomyoblasts scattered among the spindle cells (hematoxylin and eosin, × 200).
Figure 5 Immunohistochemical staining of tumor tissue.
A: Desmin is strongly positive in the cytoplasm of tumor cells (× 200); B: MyoD1 is strongly positive in the nucleus of tumor cells (× 200).
