Sarcoma Botryoides

Sarcoma Botryoides is a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma that most often occurs in children and adolescents. It gets its name from the botryoid structure of the tumor.

Sarcoma botryoidum usually affects the muscles and connective tissue in the perineum, vagina, or bladder. The tumor has a shiny, grape-like surface and often spreads into surrounding tissue.

Diagnosis is based on histological examination of a tumor biopsy. Treatment involves surgical removal of the tumor followed by chemotherapy. The prognosis depends on the stage of the disease, but in general, sarcoma botryoidum is considered a malignant tumor with a high risk of metastasis.

Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential for a favorable outcome in this rare type of childhood sarcoma.



**Sarcoma botryoid** Sarcoma botryoid **e is an undifferentiated sarcoma that develops from embryonic tissue, nesting in botryoid cells.**

It is divided into purely sarcomatous forms, including those with Eydrich-Bick tumor. An extremely rare soft tissue tumor. Men get sick much more often than women (4-5 times in men). It is extremely rare in children. Botrioid sarcoma is characterized by rapid growth and early metastasis to the bone marrow.

The development of Botrioid sarcoma begins with the proliferation of blast cells in areas of metaplasia. It is characterized by a slow course with active formation of metastases. The development of metastases is facilitated by lymphogenous drifts. The largest metastatic lesions are found in the lungs and the walls of blood vessels. Damage to the heart, brain and
