Four patients with primary reticulum-cell sarcoma of the cervix were described. One patient was treated with radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy. The pelvic lymph nodes contained metastatic cancer and the patient died shortly after disseminating disease. The other three patients were treated with external radiation and vaginal and intrauterine radium application. The complete work-up failed to reveal cancer outside the pelvis or evidence of systemic disease. Two of these patients had an exploratory laparotomy with biopsies of pelvis and para-aortic lymph nodes and of the liver. One of these patients had a splenectomy, with no evidence of disease. Both patients are alive with no evidence of disease 3 and 10 years after their treatment. The third patient treated by radiation therapy died 2 years later with no evidence of disease. The importance of complete staging work-up and the advantage of radiation therapy in the treatment of reticulum-cell sarcoma of the cervix is emphasized.
