Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the vagina in adults per se is uncommon and pregnancy complicated by such tumors is extremely rare. We wish to report one case of vaginal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, diagnosed at the age of 23 years who was carrying at the time of initial presentation. The problem of management of rhabdomyosarcoma in adults, particularly when they are associated with pregnancy is discussed. We advocate the use of multiagent chemotherapy and pelvic radiotherapy in its overall management.
