Primary breast leiomyosarcoma located in the premammary zone: a case report

Abstract

We present the case of 51-year-old woman with a primary breast leiomyosarcoma. On the postoperative screening after breast cancer surgery, a 4-mm-sized mass assessed as BI-RADS category 3 was detected on her contralateral breast. We recommended follow-up and observation. However, the lesion increased in size and became palpable. It was excised and diagnosed as primary leiomyosarcoma. We review the literature on imaging findings and management of breast leiomyosarcoma, and discuss the differential diagnoses in breast imaging.
