摘要
Background. Sarcoma botryoides rarely arises in the uterine cervix. It usually presents in the adolescent age group. The peak incidence is in the second decade. A combined modality approach to treating rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has markedly improved survival. We present two cases of cervical RMS. One of them had a very aggressive clinical course. Case. Two cases of RMS in young women who presented with rapidly progressive cervical tumor are reported. They were treated with two-stage surgical procedure and chemotherapy. Conclusion. A combined modality approach to treating RMS using multidrug chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery has markedly improved survival. One of our cases has been free of disease for more than 5 years.
