    Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. It is seen rarely in adults. There are three variants of RMS which include  embryonal, alveolar which are commonly seen in children and pleomorphic type seen in adult. In recent years, spindle cell and sclerosing variants of RMS have also been recognized in adults. Because of the scarcity of data  further  extensive research has to be carried regarding the tumor. The prognosis  of the tumor is worse in adults when compared to children, with an overall 5-year survival of less than 30%. This review will discuss the clinicopathological characteristics of RMS, the different histological variants, and two case reports of our Institution.   &nbsp
