Extracardiac rhabdomyomas (RM) are very rare benign tumors with a poorly understood pathogenesis. In this report we describe two RM cases – a sublingual adult type tumor and a genital type tumor involving the uterine cervix. The patho-clinical characteristics, as well as the pioneer immunohistochemical analysis of ERK1/2 and AKT/mTOR pathway status is included. The expression of key proteins involved in above signaling gives new insight into the biology of extracardiac RM.
