Right atrial botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult patient with recurrent pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas following doxorubicin therapy

Department of Pathology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78229, USA

Abstract 

We describe a case of a 37-year-old Hispanic woman who presented with a right atrial botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma 2 years after doxorubicin therapy for a recurrent pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the chest wall. Although this may be a second primary, it most likely represents a cardiac metastasis with maturation of chemotherapy-resistant tumor cells.
