Abstract

Summary: An 8-month old girl with rhabdomyosarcoma of the breast had local recurrence and axillary node metastasis after excision biopsy. Subsequent radical mastectomy was followed by local recurrence and extra-nodal metastasis. A combination of vincristine, cyclo. phosphamide, methotrexate and prednisone had no significant effect oo its rapidly fatal course. Rhabdomyosarcoma occurring as a pure stromal sarcoma may be more dangerous than when it is associated with a fibroadenoma.
