Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a malignant neoplasm mostly affecting the genitourinary system of children and is rarely seen in adults. ERMS in uterine cervix is rare and can be misdiagnosed in adult as adenosarcoma or carcinosarcoma. The use of immunohistochemical staining is highly recommended to make sure that the correct diagnosis is reached. To the best of our knowledge, only seven cases of cervical ERMS in women above the age of 50 have been reported in English literature. Herein, we report a rare case of cervical ERMS in a 50-year-old woman that was initially misdiagnosed as an adenosarcoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
