Sumario: | Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant neoplasm that originates from undifferentiated myogenic progenitor cells. It is predominantly a pediatric disease, and its occurrence in adults is exceedingly rare. Adult primary RMS of gynecologic origin is an uncommon phenomenon, and the cervix is the most frequently involved site. The incidence of adult primary uterine RMS is extremely scarce.
