Rhabdomyosarcoma of the breast: Report of two cases with the review of literature

Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a common soft-tissue neoplasm in the pediatric age group. Common locations are head and neck, genitourinary areas, trunk, and extremities. Two pathologic variants of this malignancy are embryonal and alveolar. The involvement of breast is rare. Herein, we report two cases of alveolar RMS of the breast of which one is an isolated breast metastasis from an orbital primary, whereas the other is a primary RMS of the breast. Both the patients were treated with surgery followed by adjuvant … Show more

“…All patients with breast metastasis from RMS also had an alveolar histology and were adolescent girls [7]. The primary breast RMS lesions were bilateral in 2 cases [14,21], and regional lymph node involvement was present in 4 patients [8,10,11,12]. RMS cases with bilateral breast metastasis have been reported to account for less than 25%, while metastatic lymph nodes have been encountered in 25-58% [24,7].…”

“…Breast involvement is very rare, both as a primary or as a metastatic site [7]. Only a few cases of primary RMS of the breast in children have been reported in the literature (table 1) [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Due to the extremely rare incidence of primary breast RMS, radiologic imaging features have yet to be clearly defined.…”

“…Entre os pacientes com rabdomiossarcoma metastático, a metástase sincrônica para a mama é observada em apenas 3,7% dos casos. A incidência de metástase mamária ao longo da história da doença é de 6,7% 6 . O local primário mais comum de rabdomiossarcoma metastático são extremidades e áreas de cabeça e pescoço 6,8,11 , sendo extremamente rara a ocorrência de metástases para a mama.…”
