The patients’ median age is four years and surgical resectionis the recommended treatment.Fetal RM of limbs are rare and not well described in the literature and if, predominantly in form of case reports. We reportthe second case of a fetal RM in the upper extremity in a 31-year old male patient.One should be aware of this skeletal muscle tumour and fetal RM should be considered as a differential diagnosis to itsmalignant counterpart rhabdomyosarcoma.Level of evidence: V %U https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_11157_6aa1e9c874c64782349544db42caad83.pdf
