Primary Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Breast in an Adult: An Extremely Rare Case

Abstract EN

Sarcomas of the breast constitute less than 1% of all malignant breast tumors and primary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a very rare entity with limited case reports in the literature.

RMS is common in children and adolescents and rare in adults.

Primary RMS arising from the breast is exceedingly rare in adults.

We report a case of a primary RMS of the breast in a 60-year-old woman, who presented in an early stage, mimicking invasive ductal carcinoma clinically and is in complete remission after three years of diagnosis and one year of treatment.
