Background: Paediatric sarcomas, including rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, represent a group of malignancies that significantly contribute to cancer-related morbidity and mortality in children and young adults. These cancers share common challenges, including high rates of metastasis, recurrence or treatment resistance, leading to a 5-year survival rate of approximately 20% for patients with advanced disease stages. Despite the critical need, therapeutic advancements have been limited over the past three decades.

Due to its heterogeneity, RMS presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment, with prognosis varying depending on multiple factors. Tumors localized in the other site (OTH)-including the paraspinal, perianal, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and perineal regions-are generally classified as unfavorable.

Background: Sarcomas of the breast are exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 1% of malignant breast tumors, with primary rhabdomyosarcomas being even rarer. Due to the scarcity of reported cases, the imaging characteristics of breast rhabdomyosarcoma are not well-defined, making diagnosis challenging, especially in adolescents.
Case Description: We present the case of a 17-year-old female diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma following a comprehensive workup for right breast masses.
