DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES IN CERVICAL EMBRYONAL RHABDOMYOSARCOMA IN YOUNG FEMALE: REVIEW OF LITERATURE.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is extremely rare; comprising 0.4 to <1% of cervical cancers in female. One of the least common sites for its occurrence in genitourinary tract is cervix and it requires to be differentiated from other sarcomas; particularly adenosarcoma as it has relatively better prognosis but there is not sufcient literature relating to the diagnosis and management of primary sarcoma cervix. We hereby report a case of 22-year-old female who presented with complaints of vaginal intermenstrual bleeding for 1.5 months. On physical and radiological examination was found to have a cervical mass measuring 3.3x4.4x4.5 cm. On microscopy the case was diagnosed as Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma cervix. Patient was managed conservatively by chemotherapy and is currently disease free. The aim and objective of our study is to discuss the approach while reporting the histopathology of sarcoma cervix with review of literature and how to differentiate between its close mimickers as therapeutics and outcome for each condition varies .
