Abstract

The case history is described of an adolescent girl with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the maxillary sinus, who was treated with radical radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. She relapsed in the breast and, after incomplete excision, received radical radiotherapy resulting in long-term survival with breast conservation. The characteristics of patients with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma with breast involvement are discussed. In adolescent girls, the breast is postulated to be a preferential metastatic site.
