Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Cervix, Local Excision or Radical Surgery (Report of Two Cases and Review of the Literature)

Introduction: Embryonal (Botryoid) Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive malignancy that arises from embryonal rhabdomyoblasts. It is commonly seen in the genital tract of female infants and young children. The primary site of these tumors is closely related to the age of the patient. Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma has a marked tendency for local recurrence after excision. Due to young age of affected patients who desire fertility, the management of this rapidly growing malignancy is very critical and poses challenges.
