Overview[edit | edit source]
Sarcoma botryoides, also known as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, is a type of rhabdomyosarcoma in the vagina of young girls, typically younger than 8. The name comes from the gross appearance of "grape bunches" (botryoid in Greek).
Epidemiology and demographics[edit | edit source]
Sarcoma botryoides is found in children under 8 years of age with an average age of onset of symptoms of about 3 years (38.3 months) (Hilgers, 1975). Cases of older women with this condition have also been reported (Reynolds et al 2006)
