A 28-year-old woman presented to the breast clinic with a palpable lump in the left breast. She was otherwise healthy at the time. Four years earlier she had undergone a left upper lobe lung resection for a synovial sarcoma followed by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. On examination she was found to have a 25 mm discrete palpable mass in the upper outer quadrant of her left breast. An ultrasound of the breast confirmed the presence of a well-defined solid mass with increased blood flow (Fig. 1). A large-bore needle biopsy showed a diffuse proliferation of small round cells with oval nuclei, fine chromatin, and small nucleoli surrounded by a small amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. Occasional mitotic figures were seen. This is consistent with a malignant small round cell tumor (Fig. 2). The tumor cells showed positive staining for bcl2, but were negative for other markers. Review of the slides at the Royal Brompton Hospital, where the original lung resection had been done, found that the appearance was consistent with recurrent sarcoma. Subsequent staging investigations, including abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, bronchoscopy, and bone scan did not reveal any other metastatic lesions from the tumor. The breast lesion was therefore an isolated deposit. She was treated with total mastectomy and immediate reconstruction using a pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Histology of the mastectomy specimen showed a circumscribed tumor similar in appearance to the biopsy. She had an uneventful postoperative period and was well at her 6-month follow-up. Acknowledgments
