Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma rarely metastasizes to the breast. We report a case of a pediatric patient who initially presented with a right breast mass and pancytopenia, which was subsequently diagnosed as alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Despite initial favorable response to chemotherapy, a new metastatic focus was found in the contralateral breast 10 months later.
