Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the cervix
Background:
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has a high risk for local and distal failure. Multimodal management of a patient with alveolar RMS of the cervix uteri is outlined.
Case:
A 39-year-old woman suffered from alveolar RMS of the cervix without involvement of uterus and parametrium. She was treated with total hysterectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy. Systemic chemotherapy and pelvic irradiation were also offered. She remains in clinical remission 3 years after presentation.
Conclusion:
Postoperative chemotherapy and irradiation could be effective treatments for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the cervix in adult patients.
