Pure rhabdomyosarcoma of the corpus uteri in a postpartum patient: report of a case and review of the literature.
Pure rhabdomyosarcomas originate in the female genital tract. They are uncommon and most often occur in infancy or childhood as sarcoma botryoides (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma) which involve the vagina and cervix. Such tumors rarely occur in adults. A pure rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus that arose in a postpartum patient is described. The pertinent literature is discussed.
