“…1 The head and neck were the most frequent sites of origin (35%), followed by the genitourinary tract (25%), extremities, trunk, retroperitoneum, and uncommon regions (intrathoracic, gastro-intestinal tract, perianal and anal regions). One of the least common sites for rhabdomyosarcoma in the genitourinary tract is the uterine cervix, but its occurrence has been well documented in the study of 13 cases.…”

“…Although ERMS has been described in females as young as 5 months of age, it tends to appear in an older age group (children or even young adults) than those occurring in the vagina. 1,3 The Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG) has reported a new classification of ERMS distinguishing three major histological subtypes: embryonal, alveolar and undifferentiated. The embryonal subtype is the most common, accounting for 68% of all ERMS cases, with classic, botryoid and spindle cell variants embracing 49, 6 and 3%, respectively.…”

“…These tumors arise from embryonal rhabdomyoblast and are approximately 3% of all rhabdomyosarcomas. The primary site of these tumors is closely related to the age of the patient; it is found in the vagina during infancy and early childhood, in the cervix during the reproductive age, and in the corpus uteri in post-menopausal patients (3,4).…”

“…Since HPV is a DNA virus, its typing and characterization has been facilitated by DNA sequencing [8]. HPV virus, with inhibition apoptosis (planned cellular death) and with production of inhibitor proteins of P53 and retinoblastoma genes, leads to the accumulation of cancer cells into tumors [9][10][11][12]. More than 40 species of HPV virus, with ability to infect genital areas, have been recognized.…”
