An embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (sarcoma botryoides) of the cervix occurring in a 30-year-old woman is described. In addition to typical areas of the embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, including cartilaginous elements, the neoplasm was characterised by the presence of foci composed of highly pleomorphic cells. The significance of this finding is uncertain. These foci may represent areas of dedifferentiation in an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
本文描述了一名30岁女性宫颈发生的胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤(葡萄状肉瘤)。除了胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤的典型区域,包括软骨成分外,该肿瘤的特征是存在由高度多形性细胞组成的病灶。这一发现的意义尚不确定。这些病灶可能代表胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤中的去分化区域。
