"DWI/ADC: diffusion restriction/low ADC values"
"FDG-PET/CT is helpful in staging, identifying nodal and systemic metastases but its utility depends on the tumour size, location and histological subtype (e.g. small orbital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma are very unlikely to have metastatic disease) 5."
"The clinical presentation of these tumours depends on their location and is non-specific, shared by tumours of other histologies in the same regions. They present as masses causing visible facial swellings, proptosis, diplopia, nasal obstruction, middle ear symptoms, etc..."

"Rhabdomyosarcomas can occur essentially anywhere in the head and neck, but with variable frequency. The orbit and eyelid are most common, followed by the nasopharynx, ear and temporal bone, and sinonasal tract 4. They are often divided into three groups which have treatment and prognositc implications 5:"
