      <abstract>
        <p>Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft-tissue tumor that starts in skeletal muscle cells. It mainly affects children. Early diagnosis and treatment improve survival rates. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma who showed a progressively enlarging chest wall swelling and was treated with chemotherapy, followed by surgery. Imaging studies, biopsy, and a PET scan confirmed malignant cells. The child responded well to chemotherapy and was referred for ongoing treatment. This case emphasises the need for early detection, correct diagnosis, and teamwork in treating paediatric soft tissue sarcomas.</p>
