Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare sarcoma that characteristically occurs in children. The current treatment protocols are based on trials performed in patients under 21 years of age. Embryonal RMS in women over 20 years of age is rare, and studies on treatments and outcomes are limited. The authors here in report a case of a 35-year-old woman with ectocervical RMS who was treated with radical hysterectomy followed by chemotherapy. She is currently disease-free. Based on a literature review, the authors recommend a surgical approach in combination with chemotherapy for treatment of embryonal RMS in adult patients.
