title: Primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the breast in an adolescent female: a case report.
abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Primary breast location has been reported rarely in the literature. Most rhabdomyosarcomas encountered in the breast more commonly are metastatic disease from some primary foci in another part of the body. This report addresses the case of an adolescent girl who had primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the breast with no evidence of local invasion or metastatic disease within the spectrum of Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
