Abstract:
Sarcoma botryoides, or embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, is soft tissue sarcoma arises from embryonic
muscle cells and normally present with discharge, bleeding, or a visible mass at the vaginal introitus
in infants and children. Aim of this study is to report a case of cervical sarcoma botryoides. Method
used is a Case report. A 16-year-old girl, nulliparous, complained abnormal vaginal bleeding and a
protruding vaginal mass. Patient underwent first surgery, mass recurrent five months later. The
second surgery was performed by cervical amputation and neocervix creation using Sturmdorf
sutures technique. Postoperative week 12 demonstrated a healthy neocervix in appearance, her
menses have resumed, indicated patency. She has no evidence of disease 3 months after diagnosis.
Cervical sarcoma botryoides is a rare malignancy. Clinicians must thoroughly examine any polyp or
mass protrudes from vagina. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for better prognosis.
Sarcoma botryoides has a much improved prognosis with multimodality treatment. To determine the
long-term survival and future potential fertility outcome, larger study and longer follow-up are
needed.
