BACKGROUND Sarcomas can develop de novo or secondary to radiotherapy after or during breast cancer treatment. Diagnosis can be challenging, as such, a sarcoma is often missed on routine follow-up imaging and often presents with dermatologic findings. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old female who developed spindle cell sarcoma on her neck, which was mimicking supraclavicular lymph node metastasis of breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS Based on our report, we recommend a tissue biopsy with an immunohistochemistry profile when a mass suspicious for metastasis is found in patients with breast cancer.
肉瘤可原发发生,或继发于乳腺癌治疗期间或之后的放疗。诊断可能具有挑战性,因此,肉瘤在常规随访影像学检查中常被漏诊,且常伴有皮肤表现。病例报告:在此,我们报告一例45岁女性,其颈部发生梭形细胞肉瘤,酷似乳腺癌锁骨上淋巴结转移。结论:基于我们的报告,我们建议在乳腺癌患者中发现可疑转移肿块时进行组织活检并进行免疫组化分析。
