Case report: NTRK1 -rearranged cervical sarcoma with fibrosarcoma like morphology presenting in a 13-year-old managed with a neo-adjuvant TRK-inhibitor and surgical excision.

This case report reviews the case of a 13-year-old patient who presented with a 9 cm rearranged cervical sarcoma with fibrosarcoma like morphology. At presentation the lesion filled her vagina and pelvis and any attempt at surgical removal would have been morbid and led to loss of fertility. These neoplasms are extremely rare with 18 cases of the uterine cervix reported in the literature, none of which have occurred in a paediatric patient, and none of whom have received neo-adjuvant therapy prior to excision. Based upon evidence that has shown good tolerability and responses of paediatric fusion-positive solid tumours to TRK inhibitors, both in the neo-adjuvant and upfront setting, this patient was managed with neo-adjuvant entrectinib. Following a dramatic reduction in tumour size confirmed by imaging, she underwent conservative fertility sparing surgery with final histopathology showing no residual disease.
