Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy that primarily affects the female genital tract in children. It arises from embryonal rhabdomyoblasts. The vagina is the most common site, but it can also occur, although rarely, in the cervix or uterine fundus. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with a rapidly growing mass in the vulvar region. A pelvic MRI revealed a grape-like mass occupying the vaginal lumen, suggestive of botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma. Biopsy of the mass confirmed the diagnosis.
葡萄状横纹肌肉瘤是一种罕见且侵袭性强的恶性肿瘤,主要影响儿童的女性生殖道。它起源于胚胎性横纹肌母细胞。阴道是最常见的部位,但也可发生于宫颈或子宫底部,不过较为罕见。我们报告一例2岁女童,其外阴部有一迅速生长的肿块。盆腔磁共振成像显示一个葡萄样肿块占据阴道腔,提示为葡萄状横纹肌肉瘤。肿块活检确诊了该诊断。
