Abstract

Botryoïde sarcoma of the uterine cervix is a very rare tumor of the young woman or during genial activity. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. The treatment ranged from radical surgery to conservative surgery followed by chemotherapy. We report a case of cervical botryoide rhabdomyosarcoma occurred in a 33 year-old woman treated primary by chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient died by extensive metastatic retroperitoneal nodes and lung.
