“…These lowgrade lymphomas include cases of lymphoma of mucosaassociated lymphoı¨d tissue (MALT) [3,[10][11][12]22], and occur sometimes on an underlying systemic pathology as shown in 2 cases in our study (rheumatoid arthtritis and suspected lupus). Farinha et al [10] tried to make a distinction between LEL and epithelial permeation by lymphoid cells, but on a basis which seems at best murky.…”

Primary lymphoma of the breast (PBL) is a rare neoplasm, its outcome remains unclear compared to other lymphomas. We performed a retrospective study of 19 cases of high grade PBL. There were 17 Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 2 follicular and diffuse grade 3 lymphomas. Four patients were treated with local treatment only, 15 received chemotherapy including 11 treated with CHOP or ACVBP regimens followed by involved field radiotherapy. The actuarial survival for the whole population was 38%. Three of the 4 patients treated only with a local treatment died of their lymphoma. Three patients progressed on therapy and 5 relapsed in the first year of follow-up including 2 central nervous system recurrences. Among the 11 patients treated with chemotherapy, 2 died of their lymphoma. The overall survival of this subgroup was 73% (median follow-up of 57 months). We observed, like others in the literature, a better prognosis for lymphomas co-expressing Bcl6 and CD 10. The treatment should be based on the same modalities, but including a CNS prophylaxis even if poor prognosis factors are lacking. A radical mastectomy increases the risk of treatment failure and has to be avoided.

“…The pathogenesis of breast lymphomas is still discussed. Some authors suggest that breast lymphoma are in fact MALT lymphomas [10][11][12]. Various treatments were prescribed ranging from surgery alone, radiotherapy alone or combined with chemotherapy.…”

“…Our case 3 had a 4-mm invasive ductal carcinoma with deposits of amyloid in proximity to the extensive ductal carcinoma in situ component. Amyloidosis has also been described as being associated with hematologic disorders of the breast such as MALT lymphoma, chronic lymphoid leukemia, marginal zone lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma [1,3,10,11]. The group of nonmalignant diseases related to breast amyloidosis includes rheumatoid arthritis [3,12].…”

Background: Amyloidosis involving the breast is a rare finding and it may present as a solitary mass called 'amyloid tumor'. According to the largest case series, the amyloid deposits are usually of the AL type (commonly κ light chain). Methods: We report 3 cases diagnosed at our institution in the period from 2000 to 2015. Radiological, histological and immunohistochemical studies were performed. Results and Conclusions: Together with a case presenting in a patient with multiple myeloma, we describe 2 unique presentations including 1 associated with CREST syndrome in a patient with a previous history of breast carcinoma and another, also associated with cancer, with transthyretin deposits in a woman with a TTR gene mutation and a family history of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy. These cases are an example of the vast heterogeneity of this disorder regarding its clinical presentation, the type of amyloid deposits and other diseases associated with breast amyloidosis.

“…Usually, primary pleural lymphoma is closely associated with chronic tuberculosis pyothorax, pneumothorax for treatment of lung tuberculosis, or some other chronic stimulation of B-cells such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, or Epstein-Barr virus (3, 4). Considering these factors, primary malignant lymphoma arising in the chest wall without pre-existing pleural disease, as with the present case, are not common (1, 2).…”

A 57-year-old man with a 15-year history of a right chest wall mass lesion without follow-up for 5 years was admitted to our hospital without any symptoms or evidence of malignancy. On MRI, an additional small subcutaneous mass lesion was found. Histology of both lesions revealed marginal zone B-cell lymphomas. Primary chest wall marginal zone B-cell lymphomas are rare; this report discusses the case and the literature on chest wall lymphomas.
