title: [Rhabdomyosarcoma of adult genital tract: A short review].
abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma, most common soft tissue tumor in children, represent 8% of solid tumors in children. Conversely, in adults, this histology is very rare and no consensual recommendation is supported. If gynecological localization is one of the most frequent in children, it is a minority in adults. The management of this type of tumor is based on treatment multimodality combining surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy. This pathological separate entity differs from other sarcomas by its greater sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The aim of this study is to conduct a general review of diagnostic and treatment of genital tract rhabdomyosarcoma in adults, and to report pathological characteristics of this type of tumor.
