As one of the most frequently occurring soft-tissue sarcomas among the pediatric population, Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm that originates from striated muscles. RMS is rarely known to occur in the mastoid and middle ear. RMS symptoms occurring in-ear are typically similar to that of chronic suppurative otitis media, which are unresponsive to conventional treatment. Consequently, this contributes to delayed diagnosis of RMS of the ear/temporal bone. This case pertains to an 8-year-old boy presenting with facial nerve palsy, chronic mastoiditis, and abducent nerve palsy. On biopsy, RMS was found in his middle ear.
