A Rare Case of Cervical Rhabdomyosarcoma in an Adolescent- A Case Report

We present a rare case of cervical embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) in adolescents, managed with fertility-sparing surgery and chemotherapy. This type of malignant tumour is rare, and the management is not codified. A 15-year-old girl presented with a tongue-like mass per vagina and abnormal discharge. She underwent vaginoscopy under anaesthesia, which revealed a polyp from the endocervix. Hysteroscopic resection was performed, and histopathology showed ERMS. Postoperative imaging suggests the presence of residual local disease without evidence of distant metastasis. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting was conducted, and the family opted for fertility-sparing management. The patient underwent repeat hysteroscopy-guided local excision, followed by eight cycles of chemotherapy, with close surveillance. In conclusion, polyps are rather odd in adolescents; malignancy should always be suspected. Fertility-sparing surgery with chemotherapy is a plausible option in well-selected cases.
