ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cervical embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) mostly affects young girls. The current treatment protocols are based on trials done on patients under 21 years old. ERMS in women over 40 is rare, and studies on treatment and outcome are limited. CASE We report a case of a 41 year-old woman with cervical ERMS who was treated with radical hysterectomy followed by chemotherapy. She is currently disease-free.CONCLUSION:
Cervical ERMS in women over the age of 40 can be treated using protocols established for the pediatric population.
