Abstract:
:The authors report the clinicopathologic findings in four cases of adult women with rhabdomyosarcomas that originated in the endometrium or cervix, or both. All tumors were pure sarcomas and not components of carcinosarcomas or malignant mixed mesodermal tumors. In two patients, the tumors were typical botryoid embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas. Both patients were alive and well following combined treatments with surgery and chemotherapy or irradiation 3.0 and 2.7 years after operation, respectively, although one had a solitary pulmonary metastasis resected. The other two women had pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas, and both died rapidly of widespread tumor. Combination therapy rather than surgery alone probably should be used initially for patients with rhabdomyosarcomas of the uterus.
