Soft tissue tumours are rare in childhood with most common being benign low flow vascular malformation (Heamangiomas). Neonatal soft tissue malignancy is rare. Chest wall as the primary site has been rarely reported. The aim objective is to report and to add to the existing literature a case of Neonatal chest wall RMS. A neonate born with chest wall tumour was successfully treated with in toto excision. Last follow up appeared after 8 years. The child was disease free. The conflict between alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and Malignant Mesenchymal Tumour (MMT) was resolved by immunohistochemistry with vimentine and desmin being positive and cytokeratin and S100 being negative. Hereby, rarest of the rare case report of chest wall RMS is being reported.
