It is a malignant tumor that arises from immature skeletal muscle cells (i.e., rhabdomyoblasts) lining the walls of hollow organs, including the vagina, bladder, and biliary tract. This cancer most commonly affects children under the age of 4, although it can sometimes present in older individuals. Botyroid sarcoma is usually found in the vagina during infancy and early childhood, in the cervix during reproductive years, and in the corpus uteri during postmenapausal years. Treatment is combination of surgery with adjuvants chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We report a case of two-month-old girl presented with a history of vaginal bleeding and a mass protruding from vagina. Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed an approximately 6 cm mass in rectovaginal septum. Excisional biopsy from the vagina confirmed the diagnosis of botyroid rhabdomyosarcoma. After biopsy the patient received multiple cycles of chemotherapy. The patient is disease-free on remission at this time.

Bu tümör vajina, mesane, biliyer system gibi içi boş organları örten rhabdomyoblast denilen immatür iskelet sistemi hücrelerinden orijin alır. Botryoid sarkom; erken çocukluk çağı ve infantlarda vajinada, reprodüktif çağda serviksde, postmenaposal yıllarda uterus korpusta bulunur. Tedavi cerrahinin adjuvant kemoterapi ve radyoterapi ile kombinasyonudur. Biz vajinal kanama ve vajinadan prolabe olan kitle ile başvuran 2 aylık kız çocuğu olgusu bildirdik. Difüzyon Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme (MRG) ‘de rektovajinal septumda yaklaşık 6 cm çapında kitle görüldü. Vajinadan alınan eksizyonel biyopsi botryoid rabdomyosarkom tanısını doğruladı. Biyopsi sonrası hasta çoklu kemoterapi tedavisi aldı. Hasta şuan hala hastalıksız şekilde remisyonda takip edilmektedir. CR - Lanzkowsky P. Manual of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Fifth Edition.
