Sažetak
A 43-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of palpable tumor localized retromammilary in the left breast. At the admittance, the patient reported the painful bump followed by its fast growing nature. The clinical finding was preoperatively confirmed by radiologic, ultrasound and citology examinations, however, the potential biologic process (malignant/benign) was not thus verified. Considering the undefined diagnostic nature of the process, biopsy, pathohistology and immunoanalysis were performed to indicate leiomyosarcoma of the breast. The radical breast excision in toto (mastectomy) was indicated and performed and then supplemented by locoregional radiotherapy. Leiomyosarcoma of the breast is a very rare primary malignant breast tumor, especially in male patients, with only 14 cases reported in the literature. Considering the rare occurrence of leiomyosarcoma of the male breast, approaches we used in radical surgery are similar to those used in other malignant breast tumors and leiomyosarcoma of other localizations.
