Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2016, Vol 33, Issue 4
Abstract
Breast involvement by lymphoma is uncommon and poses challenges in diagnosis. Breast involvement by malignant lymphoma, whether primary or secondary, is a rare event. Primary breast lymphomas account for 0.38% – 0.7% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas, 1.7% – 2.2% of all extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and only 0.04% – 0.5% of all breast cancer cases. Most frequent primary breast lymphomas are diffuse large B cell lymphomas (53%). Breast mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas account for a small fraction of all the MALT lymphomas (1% – 2%). Herein we report a case of a patient with primary breast MALT lymphoma and its presentation on different imaging modalities. Two years after the presentation and treatment with eight cycles of chemotherapy, the patient is alive and well, without evidence of residual disease or recurrence. - - - Prisustvo limfoma u dojci je rijetko i predstavlja dijagnostički izazov. Maligni limfom u dojci, bilo primarni ili sekundarni, vrlo je rijedak slučaj. Primarni limfom dojke čini 0,38%–0,7% svih nehočkinskih limfoma; 1,7%–2,2% svih ekstranodalnih nehočkinskih limfoma; i samo 0,04%–0,5% svih karcinoma dojke. Najčešći primarni limfom dojke je difuzni limfom krupnih B-ćelija (53%). MALT limfom dojke čini mali dio svih MALT limfoma (1%-2%). Predstavljamo slučaj bolesnice sa primarnim MALT limfomom dojke i njegovom prezentacijom na različitim radiološkim modalitetima. Dvije godine nakon otkrivanja i sprovedenih osam ciklusa hemioterapije, bolesnica je još živa bez znakova recidiva bolesti.
