Primary Leiomyosarcoma of the Breast: A Case Report

2012

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the breast is an extremely rare tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors and only 24 cases have been reported in the English medical journals. It is quite difficult to diagnose leiomyosarcoma preoperatively. Establishing an accurate diagnosis is very important in planning treatment. When preoperative diagnosis can be achieved before or during the operation, wide resection should be performed. There is no need for axillary lymph node dissection. In this case report, we present a case involving primary leiomysarcoma of the breast in a 48-year-old woman and we discuss optimal treatment options.

“…While some have reported a welldefined lesion that can be mistaken for benign pathology as in our case [1], others have reported malignant looking lesions [5]. Fine needle aspiration cytology can be challenging as these tumours can be mistaken for poorly differentiated carcinoma, metaplastic carcinoma, or other sarcomas such as malignant phylloides [3, 6]. On histopathological assessment, Immunohistochemical staining is essential as adjuncts to differentiate leiomyosarcomas from other tumours and soft tissue sarcomas.…”

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the breast is a rare tumour with only around thirty cases reported in the literature. Most of the cases reported are in females, while only a few are reported in males. We present a case of primary breast leiomyosarcoma in a 59-year-old man that presented with a subareolar lump which felt to be benign clinically and radiologically but proven to be a leiomyosarcoma on excision.

“…Furthermore, on ultrasonography, as reported in all the reports cited, leiomyosarcomas are either oval or lobulated tumors with a smooth clear border, mimicking a fi broadenoma, phyllodes tumor, or an intracystic papilloma. Therefore, with an image analysis alone, differential diagnosis between a leiomyosarcoma and a benign tumor can be extremely diffi cult [7,8].…”

PURPOSE: Leiomyosarcoma of the breast is extremely rare. To date, the factors that are predictive of patient prognosis have not been identified. To clarify the nature of leiomyosarcoma of the breast, and also to establish the proper treatment strategy, we report this case We report this case while discussing The Clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapy and pathologic feature. INTRODUCION: Sarcomas comprise less than 1% of all primary breast neoplasms and only a minority of these are leiomyosarcomas. There were only 35 cases being reported in English literature. The mainstay of treatment is surgical excision with clear margins and longterm followup is essential. Its prognosis is better compared to other breast sarcoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the breast occurring in young female patient which was successfully treated by surgery and radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: According to literature data, primary leiomyosarcoma is characterized by a better prognosis compared with other breast sarcomas, To date, the factors that are predictive of patient prognosis have not been identified. .The rarity and diagnostic difficulty imposed a multidisciplinary approach
