Symptom triad of primary cervical rhabdomyosarcomas as seen in a Nigerian tertiary hospital: A case series

This study aims to characterize the clinical presentation and management of primary cervical rhabdomyosarcomas (PCR) at a Nigerian tertiary hospital over a 12-year period. The authors identified nine cases, all of the embryonal variant, and found that a symptom triad of cervical mass, procidentia, and mucoid discharge should raise suspicion for PCR in reproductive-age women. The findings suggest a favorable prognosis, with most patients surviving without disease recurrence following surgical intervention and chemotherapy.
