Solitary breast metastasis from myxoid liposarcoma.
[liposarcoma]
Metastasis
to
the
breast
from
nonmammary
malignancies
is
rare
,
and
mostly
involves
patients
in
a
pre-terminal
condition
with
systemic
metastases
outside
the
breast
.
Lymphoma
and
leukemia
,
melanoma
,
and
lung
carcinoma
are
the
most
common
primary
malignancies
to
cause
breast
metastasis
;
metastasis
of
soft
tissue
sarcoma
to
the
breast
is
very
rare
.
Here
,
we
report
a
case
of
primary
lower-extremity
myxoid
liposarcoma
with
the
development
of
a
solitary
metastasis
to
the
breast
.
To
the
best
of
our
knowledge
,
no
isolated
case
reports
of
solitary
breast
metastasis
by
myxoid
liposarcoma
have
been
previously
reported
in
the
English
-
language
literature
.
The
patient
,
a
66
-
year
-old
woman
,
had
been
previously
diagnosed
with
myxoid
liposarcoma
of
the
right
thigh
.
At
21
months
after
complete
surgical
resection
of
the
primary
tumor
with
negative
margins
,
a
palpable
tumor
was
identified
in
the
patient
's
left
breast
.
Needle
biopsy
revealed
the
presence
of
metastatic
liposarcoma
;
positron
emission
tomography
/
computed
tomography
examination
confirmed
the
metastasis
as
solitary
,
and
no
local
recurrence
of
the
primary
tumor
was
identified
.
The
patient
underwent
lumpectomy
with
negative
margins
and
did
not
provide
consent
for
adjuvant
chemotherapy
.
As
with
the
biopsy
specimen
and
the
total
cleavage
specimen
,
myxoid
liposarcoma
with
metastasis
to
the
breast
was
diagnosed
.
No
recurrence
or
new
metastases
were
observed
five
years
after
resection
of
the
metastatic
breast
lesion
.
We
have
presented
an
extremely
rare
case
of
a
solitary
metastatic
breast
tumor
arising
from
myxoid
liposarcoma
of
the
lower
limbs
.
There
is
no
standard
treatment
for
the
management
of
solitary
breast
metastasis
from
myxoid
liposarcoma
.
Therefore
,
treatment
should
be
guided
by
consideration
of
an
individual
patient
's
overall
condition
.
