Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common gynecological cancer in the world. It is rare in children. The most incriminating risk factor is Human Papillomavirus infection. OBSERVATION: This case report describes an 8-year 10-month old child who presented with cervical cancer. The initial symptomatology was urinary burning, pollakiuria, asthenia and suprapubic pain without fever. The paraclinical workup revealed a cervical tumor and iliac and lumbo-aortic nodes and peritoneal carcinosis. Biopsies revealed an undifferentiated carcinoma. Treatment consisted of induction chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide followed by cisplatin and paclitaxel) followed by concomitant radio-chemotherapy and utero-vaginal brachytherapy. KEYWORDS: Cancer; Cervix; Child.
