Recurrent Cervical Sarcoma Botryoides in a 3-Year-Old Female: Approach in a Limited Resource Setting

Abstract

Sarcoma botryoides, also known as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), is a subgroup of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a malignant tumor arising from embryonic muscle cells. It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and young adulthood, accounting for 4% to 6% of all malignancies in this age group [1]. This tumor typically presents as a “grape-like” tumor. It is usually reported as a vaginal tumor in the female reproductive tract of infants and rarely in the uterine cervix [2].
