Primary breast lymphoma represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies and most primary breast lymphomas are of B-Cell origin. The association of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a very rare form of primary breast lymphoma, with silicone-filled breast implants has been suggested and several case reports supported this proposal, especia...

A rare association between primary pulmonary lymphoma and pulmonary nodular amyloidosis in a 56 year old man

Several reports indicate that lungs are the extralymphatic site most commonly affected in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma; however, the data in children are rather limited. This retrospective study aimed to assess the frequency, clinical picture, and the impact on prognosis in children with pulmonary Hodgkin lymphoma, who were diagnosed and treated in a single center during a 10-year period. Pul...

Non-resolving pneumonia is a challenging clinical problem, with etiological, patient-related, and treatment-related factors to be considered during evaluation. When adequate treatment has been administered, other unusual causes of non-resolving pneumonia need to be considered (Table 1). Primary pulmonary lymphomas are very rare and represent only 3–4% of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and o...

Pulmonary lymphomas are categorized into 4 groups: primary pulmonary involvement, recurrent or secondary pulmonary lymphoma, post-transplantation lymphoproliferative lymphomas, and lymphomas related to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome.1-3 Primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) is a rare entity composing 0.5–1.0% of all pulmonary malignancies and 1.0% of all lymphomas. PPL affects both lobes of...

UNLABELLED Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, is an uncommon lymphoma associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It most commonly involves the nasal cavity and upper respiratory tract. Primary pulmonary NK/T cell lymphoma is extremely rare. If a patient with a NK or T-cell tumor has an unusual reaction to treatment or an unusual prognosis, it is wise to differentiate...

Localized (primary) pulmonary amyloidosis associated with pulmonary low-grade B cell lymphoma is rarely occurred. Here we report an unusual case of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis and obvious ossification due to primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with extensive plasmacytic differentiation in a 59-year-old man; moreover, two bronchial lymph nodes were involved hist...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinicopathological features of primary intravascular large B-cell lymphoma of lung. METHODS A case of primary pulmonary intravascular large B-cell lymphoma was analysed in histopathology and immunophenotype. RESULTS The patient is a 42-year-old female who had cough for one year. Computed tomography showed ground-glass opacities and small nodules in bilateral lu...

It is extremely unusual for primary pulmonary lymphoma, an uncommon occurrence in any form, to be of T-cell origin and manifest as endobronchial lesion. Each these characteristics rare individually, so cases that combine them are exceptional. We report a patient whom anaplastic large cell neoplasm, presented with obstruction the left upper lobe bronchus, resulting atelectasis creating radiograp...

we present 16 years old girl with primary breast lymphoma involving the both breasts simultaneously and co-incidence of central nervous system (cns) involvement which originated from the breast, in addition to evidence of lymphoma in multi-organ such as skin, mediastinum and some abdominal viscera. bilaterality has been observed in some series, but reports are few and series are often very smal...
