Rhabdomyomas of female genital tract. Report on two cases.
Studies were conducted by means of optical light and electron microscopy into two cases of rhabdomyoma of a fetal type in the vagina of a patient, 42 years of age, and in the ectocervical region of a patient aged 39 years. Both cases were similar to one another for optical and ultrastructural features and revealed high maturity of the rhabdomyomatous cells in tumors. A review of the literature would reveal the cases presented to be the 20th case of a vaginal tumor and the 3rd case of ectocervical tumor so far described as rhabdomyomas of the female genital tract.
