Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare disease associated with breast implants. We present the case of a woman who had had breast augmentation and multiple revisions over a period of 13 years and presented with recurrent fluid collections. The cause was determined to be anaplastic large cell lymphoma, which required removal of the implants, capsulectomy, and evaluation by a medical oncologist...

Indolent breast lymphomas (IBL) are a rare form of extranodal lymphoma. There are very few reported cases of IBL presenting as a breast mass. We report two cases of IBL, a Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL) and a Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL), which were discovered on routine mammogram and later confirmed by biopsy and flow cytometery. Patient with MZL underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy ...

Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast is a rare disease. We present a case of primary breast lymphoma with atypical clinical manifestations that looked like acute mastitis. A 46-year-old woman had noted a painful swelling in the right breast for 2 months. The mass had an inflammatory appearance and acute mastitis was the clinical impression. She underwent a core biopsy of the mass, and ...

Introduction: Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare form of extranodal lymphoma. The most common pathology diffuse large B cell and patients are diagnosed at stages 1 2. therapeutic options available so far include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy Case Presentation: patient was 54-year old woman with localized primary B-cell (DLBCL). underwent 6 courses an R-CHOP regimen followed by radiot...

INTRODUCTION: Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL) is a T-cell lymphoma arising around breast implants. Although initially considered as an “indolent” lymphoma, a subset of patients display more insidious disease marked by persistent and recurrent growth refractory to treatment. 1,2,3,4 The purpose of this study is to evaluate cases of BI-ALCL presenting with aggre...

Breast lymphoma is a rare disease entity worldwide, in either primary or secondary form, and makes up less than 0.5% of all breast malignancy.(1,2) Among all nonHodgkin’s lymphomas, only 0.7% show mammary tissue involvement.(2) Secondary forms of the disease are considered more common than primary ones,(3) with the primary forms representing 1.7% to 2.2% of all extranodal lymphomas,(4) probably...

Primary breast lymphomas (PBLs) represent less than 1% of all breast malignancies. Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (ILBCL) is a rare, aggressive form of extranodal lymphoma. Breast involvement has only been described in the literature once previously. ILBCL is characterized by the proliferation of tumour cells within the lumen of small vessels of involved organs, resulting in their eventual...

Primary nonHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) occurs in both nodal and extranodal sites. Lymphoma arising in mammary tissue is rare. The majority are of B-cell origin, while a few case studies of T-cell lymphomas of the breast have been reported. The clinical and histologic features of a 74-year-old female diagnosed with T-cell mammary lymphoma are reported, as well as her treatment course and follow-up....

INTRODUCTION Breast involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphoma is particularly rare in men. We describe the case of a patient with a rapidly growing, painless gynecomastia-like nodule in the left breast. On ultrasonography, the nodule was suspicious for breast carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A breast biopsy from a 54-year-old Caucasian man showed the morphoimmunophenotypical features of grade 3 follicu...

We report a case of granulocytic sarcoma presented as a recurrent breast tumor in a 42-year-old woman with no history of leukemia. The case was initially diagnosed as malignant lymphoma on a previous biopsy specimen and she refused chemotherapy. At the time of recurrence of the breast tumor, the patient showed full-blown features of leukemia. This case of rare tumor suggests that differential d...
