“…The majority of breast NHLs are of B-cell phenotype, with the frequency of T-cell NHLs ranging from 2.5-7.5% [11][12][13][14]. Several types of T-cell NHL have been reported in the breast, including anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (NOS), adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (ATLL), and NK/ T-cell lymphoma [15,16].…”

T‐Cell lymphoblastic lymphoma presenting as bilateral multinodular breast masses: A case report and review of the literature

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of T-cell lineage involving the breast is rare. We report on a 41-year-old woman with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma who presented with multiple bilateral breast masses. The patient was treated with intensive chemotherapy and mediastinal and whole-brain irradiation. She remains in complete remission 24 months after diagnosis. The clinical, histologic, phenotypic, and cytogenetic features are described, with a review of the literature. Am.

“…ATLL cases with breast lesions at diagnosis are very rare and have only been sporadically reported as isolated cases. We found only four cases reported between 1990 and 2018 ( Table 2) (11)(12)(13)(14). According to these previous reports, the first clinical presentation of breast ATLL lesions is a painless palpable mass.…”

Adult T-cell Leukemia-lymphoma with Primary Breast Involvement: A Case Report and Literature Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Breast involvement of Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL) is extremely rare, and the data on the characteristics are limited. We herein describe a 49-year-old woman who presented with skin involvement of ATLL. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed bilateral breast lesions. Although the patient once achieved a complete metabolic response, a relapse of her ATLL occurred. The patient received subsequent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To our knowledge, only four cases of ATLL with breast involvement have previously been reported, and the prognoses have generally been poor. Breast lesions of ATLL have aggressive features, and intensive systemic chemotherapy and HSCT are required to improve survival.

“…T-cell lymphomas of the breast are very rare. 1,9 The most frequent T-cell lymphomas involving the breast include lymphoblastic lymphoma, 1,8,26 ALCL, 9,12,13 peripheral T-cell lymphoma, 9,12,25 ATLL, 11 and mycosis fungoides. 14 Most of the cases in these series were SBLs.…”

“…6 Most of the cases of lymphomas reported in PBL and SBL are B-cell lymphomas, 1,4,5,7,8 with few reports of T-cell lymphomas arising from or secondarily involving the breast. [9][10][11][12][13][14] The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical-pathological features of a large series of breast lymphomas occurring in a population of Brazilian patients using the criteria of WHO Classification for hematolymphoid neoplasms. 15…”

Breast involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphomas is rare. We studied the morphological, immunophenotypical, and clinical features of 53 cases of malignant lymphomas involving the breast in a population of Brazilian patients. Most of the cases were of B-cell phenotype. Four of the patients with primary breast lymphomas had T-cell lymphomas, 3 had CD30-positive anaplastic large cell lymphomas, and 1 had panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. Most patients presented with an incidental breast mass. Secondary breast lymphoma was seen in 19 patients and most commonly occurred as part of widespread nodal disease. Two patients presented with bilateral breast involvement. The most prevalent histological subtype was also diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, followed by follicular lymphoma. This study shows that the broad morphological and immunophenotypical spectrum of malignant lymphoma of the breast occurring in a large series of Brazilian patients has many similarities with that seen in Western countries, with a higher proportion of high-grade lymphomas in both primary and secondary cases.
