Multiple primary malignant tumors of rhabdomyosarcoma in a upper arm and cancer of breast are extremely rare. In September 1970, a female, aged 86 years, underwent the first resection operation performed on a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the right upper arm. She underwent radiation therapy (8000 rads at the operative field) postoperatively. In August 1980, a simple mastectomy was performed for a cancer of the right breast. In December 1984, fourteen years after her first operation, a recurrence was detected. The tumor recurred five times during the next two years and was resected each time. The patient died of cachexia sixteen years after the first operation.

The patient was a 2-year-old boy, who was brought to our clinic with the chief symptom of urinary retention. We suspected retrovesical tumor by digital examination, intravenous pyelography and retrograde cystography. Surgery was performed and the bladder and prostate including the tumor were removed. Ureterocutaneostomy was constructed on both sides. The pathohistological diagnosis was rhabdomyosarcoma (embryonal type). Thereafter, chemotherapy and irradiation were applied, but the patient died of cachexia which was clinically caused by a local recurrence, fourteen months after the operation. Forty-six cases of retrovesical sarcoma were collected from the recent Japanese literature, and reviewed.

A 23-year-old male with intermittent visual loss in his left eye for 4 months was originally treated as optic neuritis elsewhere. Upon presentation to our hospital (Beijing Tongren Hospital), his left eye visual acuity was reduced to hand motion at face. The left eye ocular motility was limited in upgaze, downgaze, adduction, and abduction. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed lesions in the sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses, orbital apex and carvernous sinus invading adjacent extraocular muscles. Endoscopic ethmo-sphenoidostomy and debulking surgery was performed and histopathology of the specimen demonstrated alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Despite having treatment with a combination of orbital radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy, the patient developed generalized metastasis with cachexia and the left eye became no light perception due to optic atrophy.
