Although rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has a predilection for the head and neck region its occurrence in the tongue is uncommon. We report 2 cases of RMS of the tongue, 1 paediatric and 1 adult patient. The child who had RMS of the alveolar type involving anterior two-thirds of the tongue was treated with surgery and chemotherapy and is disease-free at 84 months of follow-up. The adult patient had locally extensive embryonal RMS of posterior third of the tongue, received chemotherapy and radiotherapy but died with progressive disease at 24 months of follow-up.
