[Genital rhabdomyosarcoma. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Apropos of a case of cavernous origin].
A case of perineal rhabdomyosarcoma possibly originating in the corpus cavernosum penis is reported. Treatment was by surgery first followed by chemotherapy. The poor outcome prompted us to review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. We can conclude from data published elsewhere that rhabdomyosarcoma localized to the GU tract is a tumor that is amenable to treatment by chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy in most of the cases. When planning treatment, diagnosis must be well-established histologically and staging must be precise in order to avoid unwarranted radical surgery.
