Rhabdomyosarcoma of the clitoris.
Genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma in females usually originates in the vagina or uterus, but rarely the vulva. The authors present a case of rhabdomyosarcoma originating in the clitoris. A 4-year-old with an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the clitoris was treated with radical clitorectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy. Follow-up at 3 years showed no active disease.
