Genital rhabdomyomas are extremely rare benign tumors of skeletal muscle origin, majority of them being reported in vaginal location. Extensive literature search revealed only three such cases reported in cervix. We hereby report fourth such case of cervical rhabdomyoma in a 35-years-old female patient. The diagnosis was confirmed by histomorphology with desmin and myoD1 positivity on immunohistochemistry. Due to paucity of cases no definite treatment guidelines are available. Differentiation from identical and more common malignant counterpart which is rhabdomyosarcoma is essential to avoid unnecessary aggressive therapy.
生殖器横纹肌瘤是一种极为罕见的骨骼肌来源良性肿瘤,大多数报告发生于阴道部位。广泛的文献检索仅发现三例宫颈部位的报道。我们在此报告第四例宫颈横纹肌瘤,发生于 35 岁女性患者。通过组织形态学和免疫组织化学 desmin 和 myoD1 阳性确诊。由于病例罕见,尚无明确的治疗指南。与同样常见的恶性肿瘤横纹肌肉瘤进行鉴别至关重要,以避免不必要的激进治疗。
