Abstract:
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare malignant tumor of the skeletal muscle. The most frequent localizations are in the head and neck (40%), genitourinary tract (25%) and limbs (20%). There are two types of RMS: the embryonal type, which is more frequent in children, and the alveolar type, which is more frequent in adults and more aggressive. Involvement of the breast, either as a primary tumor or as a metastasis, is extremely rare. We report here a case of primary alveolar RMS of the limbs with breast metastasis in a 17-year-old girl followed in oncology for RMS who presented a breast mass in which the biopsy came back in favor of a breast metastasis of RMS, we will try to give an update on the management of this rare localization of RMS
