Introduction: Embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) of the cervix is a type of soft tissue sarcoma that usually occurs in young women and is very rare in adulthood. In this article, we present a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the cervix in a 57-year-old woman.
Patient presentation: A 57-year-old woman with symptoms of a palpable mass at the external cervical os and postmenopausal bleeding was admitted to Omid Hospital, and the lesion was excised. Histopathological examination showed proliferation of small round cells in some cases with a rhabdoid appearance. Accordingly, the initial diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma was made. This diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and myogenin positivity, and the patient underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The tumor was confined to the cervix, and there was no evidence of metastasis in additional examinations. In the 26-month follow-up of the patient, there has been no sign of recurrence or symptoms related to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
Conclusion: Given the rarity of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in postmenopausal women, this tumor may not be diagnosed by histopathology alone, and immunohistochemical examination for relevant markers is required. Therefore, when observing a polypoid lesion in the cervix at any age, we should also consider diagnosing embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. By timely diagnosis and treatment of the disease, tumor recurrence in the patient can be prevented.
