Rhabdomyosarcoma Revealed by a Breast Metastasis. 2018

Marie Luporsi, and Thibaut Cassou-Mounat, and Henri-Marc Amiot, and Valerie Laurence, and Nina Jehanno

A 38-year-old woman was referred for staging of an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma revealed by a breast metastasis with unknown primary. Whole-body F-FDG PET/CT localized the primary tumor as an asymptomatic soft tissue lesion of the right foot with a significant uptake. PET/CT detected hepatic and pancreatic metastases and also showed a multifocal bone marrow involvement, which was not detected by the contrast-enhanced CT. These results led to a significant change in treatment management as the patient received local radiotherapy of the primitive lesion and polychemotherapy.

D012208 Rhabdomyosarcoma A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.

D019788 Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 The compound is given by intravenous injection to do POSITRON-EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY for the assessment of cerebral and myocardial glucose metabolism in various physiological or pathological states including stroke and myocardial ischemia. It is also employed for the detection of malignant tumors including those of the brain, liver, and thyroid gland.
