Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a high-grade sarcoma that predominantly affects children, and rarely, the adult population. RMS demonstrates three major histologic variants: Embryonal, alveolar, and pleomorphic. A limited number of documented pure RMS cases of the gynecologic organs in adult women are found in the literature. Of these reports, the fallopian tube (FT) is reported as the primary site in only three cases, those included one of embryonal and two of the pleomorphic histologic variants. Herein, we report the first case of alveolar RMS arising in the FT of an adult woman and presenting as a unilateral adnexal mass.
横纹肌肉瘤(RMS)是一种高级别肉瘤,主要影响儿童,很少累及成年人群。RMS有三种主要的组织学变体:胚胎型、腺泡型和多形性。文献中发现成年女性妇科器官的纯RMS病例数量有限。在这些报告中,输卵管(FT)仅在三例中被报道为主要部位,其中包括一例胚胎型和两例多形性组织学变体。在此,我们报告首例发生于成年女性FT的腺泡型RMS,表现为单侧附件肿块。
