Secondary Breast Lymphoma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Archives of Hematology Case Reports and Reviews - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Breast lymphomas are a rare sighting and image fi ndings are non-pathognomonic often mimicing different forms of invasive breast cancer. Nevertheless, multimodal imaging and subsequent histopathology are crucial for diagnosis and treatment. To draw attention to this very rare entity, we present a case of a 74 year old female patient with a tumorous mass in the left maxillary sinus. The subsequent whole-body staging CT revealed an additional multicentric lesion of the right breast suggesting breast cancer. Histopathology of both lesions resulted in the diagnosis of a diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
