“…The standard surgical procedure is radical mastectomy with surgical margins of at least 3 cm [12]. The risk of regional lymphatic extension is low and analysis of the case reports in the literature shows that lymphadenopathy usually corresponds to hyperplasia rather than a tumor, then axillary dissection is not mandatory [3,5,9,12]. In our case axillary dissection has been done because physical exam found axillar macroscopic lymphadenopathy.…”

Primary Sarcomas of the breast account for less than 1% of breast tumors. Leiomyosarcomas are less common. Only 51 cases have been reported in the literature, which only 4 cases in men. We present a new case of male breast leiomyosarcoma and discuss management and therapy of these unusual neoplasms. The confirmation of diagnosis was obtained by immunohistochemical study of surgical biopsy. The patient underwent a radical mastectomy and axillary lymphadenectomy. Adjuvant radiotherapy was indicated. Two years after surgery the patient is still in life without recurrence.

“…Therefore, the tumor staging and status of surgical margins of the resection specimen defines the therapy procedures following surgery for leiomyosarcomas as in other soft tissue sarcomas (7). Long-term follow-up is important because recurrence or metastasis were reported more than 10 years after treatment (8).…”

Primary leiomyosarcomas of the breast are extremely rare tumors. There were approximately thirty patients reported in the literature up to date. Herein, we report a 66-years old female patient who presented with an enlarging mass in her right breast which was diagnosed as primary leiomyosarcoma following previous mixed invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma in her left breast. Although primary leiomyosarcomas of the breast are very rare tumors, they should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of spindle cell breast tumors including metaplastic carcinoma in patients with prior breast cancer. Keywords: Breast cancer; leiomyosarcoma ÖzetMemenin primer leiomyosarkomları oldukça nadirdir. Literatürde bugüne kadar yaklaşık otuz hasta rapor edilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda, daha önce sol memesinde mikst invaziv duktal karsinom ve lobüler karsinom teşhisi olan, sağ memesinde büyüme gösteren kitle ile başvuran ve primer leiomyosarkom tanısı alan 66 yaşındaki kadın hasta bildirilmektedir. Memenin primer leiomyosarkomları çok nadir tümörler olmasına rağmen, meme kanseri öyküsü olan hastalarda ortaya çıkan iğsi hücreli meme tümörlerinin metaplastik karsinomu da içeren ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalıdır.
