【 摘 要 】

Pure rhabdomyosarcomas occurring in the adult uterus are very rare, with poor prognosis. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding caused by pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus, treated with hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy, pelvic/paraaortic lymphadenectomy and partial sigmoidectomy. Postoperative chemotherapy (Doxorubicin) was given according to protocol. Followup examinations one year after surgery revealed no abnormalities or tumor recurrence. The rarity of this histological entity makes the presented case worthy of publication.(Pathology Oncology Research Vol 12, No 2, 102�?104)
