title: Minimal invasive treatment of cervical rhabdomyosarcoma in an adolescent girl.
abstract: Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcomas in childhood and adolescence. In cases of minimal cervical invasion, less invasive local excision in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy has resulted in excellent survival rates with complete preservation of the bladder, rectum, uterus and vagina. Herein we present the case of an adolescent girl with a large rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterine cervix treated with minimal invasive therapy.
