Sarcoma botryoides epidemiology and demographics

Overview
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
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)
