Abstract
A 25-year-old woman, a known case of vulvar rhabdomyosarcoma presented with bilateral breast nodules. Fine

Histopathologic and immunocytochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
The cytological findings of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the breast are rarely reported. The clinical
history and immunocytochemical study contributed to the diagnosis of metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma
