- Abstract:
- Background: Botryoid-type embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the cervix is generally considered to have a good prognosis.Case Report: A 19-year-old nulliparous woman underwent cold-knife conization of the cervix because of a rhabdomyosarcoma. Histology confirmed a 5 x 4,5 x 4 cm botryoid-type embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with microinvasion of the cervical stroma of less than 1 mm. The surgical margins were clear. No adjuvant therapy was given. Four years after conization the patient had an uneventful pregnancy. At 6 years postoperatively she is alive with no evidence of disease.Conclusion: This report suggests that conservative management can be considered for selected patients with botryoidtype embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the cervix.
