Breast cancer coexisting with lymphoma is a rare condition with various diagnostic and therapeutic implications. In this report, we describe the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with simultaneous ductal carcinoma in situ of the right breast, and follicular lymphoma involving an inguinal lymph node and the left breast. The patient underwent local excision and radiotherapy for ...

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of the breast can be either primary or secondary. Both are rare diseases accounting less than 0.6% of all breast malignancies. In this study we report our experience with five cases of breast lymphoma, 3 of them being primary and 2 of them being secondary breast lymphoma, retrospectively. All patients were female with a median age of 47 years and presented with brea...

The safety of silicone-based implant for mammoplasty has been debated for decades. A series of anecdotal case reports and a recent epidemiological case-control study have suggested a possible association between silicone implant and the development of primary breast ALK1-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. In this report, we describe an add...

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the breast constitutes 0.04%-0.53% of all malignancies and 2.2% of extra nodal lymphomas. In total, 7%-8% of all B-cell lymphomas are the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type, of which up to 50% of primary gastric MALT lymphoma. Herein we present a patient with breast MALT lymphoma that transformed to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A 69-y...

BACKGROUND Anecdotal reports and one case-control study suggested an association, without evidence of causation, between breast implants and anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This review summarizes the published evidence, including case reports and epidemiologic studies. METHODS A PubMed search limited to English langua...

Abstract Background Primary Breast Lymphoma is a rare manifestation of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma and accounts for less than 1% all breast malignancies. It defined by localized involvement the mammary tissue lymphomatous infiltrate in absence prior extramammary concomitant widespread disease. Case presentation A 46-year-old melanodermic woman was referred to our hospital due an extensive u...

BACKGROUND Primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (PHNL) of the breast is a rare entity, while secondary involvement of the breast with diffuse disease of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is more common. However, PNHL is the most frequent haematopoietic tumour of the breast. Diagnostic criteria for PNHL of the breast are presence of technically adequate pathologic specimens, close association of mammary ti...

Lymphoma of the breast is unusual, and synchronous bilateral lymphoma and carcinoma of the breast is extremely rare. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman who found a mass in her left breast. Ultrasound scan findings revealed nodules at the 2 o'clock position in her left breast and focal dilation of the duct at the 8-9 o'clock and 10 o'clock position in her right and left breasts, respecti...

Synchronous breast cancer and breast lymphoma are rare. It is of high rate of misdiagnosis in clinical practice. Here we present two cases with this presentation. They are both middle-aged women, with stage I invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. One patient happened to have primary breast lymphoma (PBL); the other was secondary breast lymphoma (SBL). Their pathology and immunohistochemistry...

Primary B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of Breast is a rare presentation breast malignancy and it necessary to differentiate from secondary lymphoma as prognosis treatment varies based on the diagnosis. We report case 47-year-old female with bilateral PBNHL which due younger age than earlier reported cases this malignancy, lump “peau de orange” appearance seen in both breasts usually high grade com...
