Nasopharyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as a breast mass.
We describe a 13-year-old girl with a primary nasopharyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma presenting with an isolated breast metastasis and no other evidence of distant metastatic spread. Only seven cases have been previously reported, and in all these cases the primary tumor was located either on an extremity or the buttock, and in six the disease was widely disseminated at diagnosis.
