Abstract

A case of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) of the cervix uteri of a 32-year old woman is described. Its differential diagnosis from histologically similar tumours is discussed. ASPS has been reported in the cervix uteri in one instance only in the literature. In spite of their unusual localization, these cases have to be recognized in order to avoid improper treatment.
