RESUMEN
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin. It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood and approximately 250 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. The most common sites for rhabdomyosarcoma are the head and neck (parameningeal, orbit, paryngeal etc.), the extremities, and the genitourinary tract. Histologically, it can be classified into embryonal, alveolar, pleomorphic, and undifferentiated. Alveolar subtype accounts for approximately 25%. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare and its prognosis is very poor. Especially, cases that reported from vulva are extremely rare, and informations regarding treatment and prognosis are not standardized. We present a case of a girl with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of vulva with a review of a literature.

Primary tumors of the mesentery are uncommon, and primary leiomyosarcoma of the mesentery is especially rare, and thus an accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult. We experienced a case of 32-year female with primary leiomyosarcoma of the mesentery. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Primary cervical carcinosarcoma is very rare malignancy with fewer than 50 documented cases in the literature, which is a histologic variant of cervical cancer. In addition, sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma has been described in only 4 prior cases. We experienced a case of 42 year-old female with sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

In endometrial cancer, the risk of metastasis to bone seems to be rare. We describe the clinicopathologic features of a rare case of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma presenting as a metastasis to the ischium in a 37-year-old premenopausal woman. The patient had treated with total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy followed by radiotherapy. Three months later, Pelvic bone metastasis was detected and palliative radiotherapy was performed. After a follow-up of 1 year, she underwent palliative right hindquater amputation and T-colostomy. Postoperative follow-up of the case has no evidence of disease 6 months after operation.
