“…Occasional cases of bilateral involvementhas also been reported . In this respect, Akinwande et al concluded that multicentricity of the breast NHLs is much more common in HIV‐immunosuppression and high‐grade lymphomas . In the present series, both the patients were suffering from unilateral breast lumps caused by high‐grade DLBCL.…”

Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is an uncommon neoplastic condition. Though HIV-infection is a known risk factor for the development of extranodal lymphomas, mammary involvement is still a rarity. Radiologically, PBL appears as well circumscribed, heteroechoic, noncalcifying mass. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is commonly used to diagnose this neoplasm; however, subcategorization requires immunophenotypic characterization of the neoplastic cells. Herein, we report two cases of PBL, including a HIV-infected lady; in both the cases FNAC expressed features of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Finally, immunohistochemistry on cell-block with CD20 diagnosed both the cases as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Background Primary Breast Lymphoma is a rare manifestation of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma and accounts for less than 1% of all breast malignancies. It is defined by localized involvement of the mammary tissue by lymphomatous infiltrate in the absence of prior extramammary lymphoma and concomitant widespread disease. Case presentation A 46-year-old melanodermic woman was referred to our hospital due to an extensive ulcerated right breast lesion with signs of infection. Imaging studies revealed a large breast tumor invading the chest wall, with cortical disruption of adjacent ribs and associated pleural thickening. Later, it was complicated with a bronchopleural cutaneous fistula. Biopsy of the mass was performed and the histopathologic diagnosis was consistent with breast infiltration by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Concurrent widespread lymphomatous disease and preceding extramammary lymphoma were excluded. Firstly, antibiotic therapy was instituted and surgical debridement was performed in order to control the infection. Afterwards, she underwent chemotherapy and local radiotherapy, with radiologic complete response. Conclusions The diagnosis of primary breast lymphoma is challenging because this disease has non-specific symptoms and imaging features. Radio–pathological correlation and exclusion of systemic lymphoma are essential to establish the diagnosis and to minimize potential complications.

Is routine biopsy of sonographically benign breast lesions in black African women under 40 years of age recommended?

A high proportion (11.0%) of lesions that appeared benign on ultrasound were malignant. The size of the lesion did not correlate with histological subtype or malignancy. Further research, including training of ultrasonographers in using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) ultrasound lexicon, standardisation of technique with assistance from established users and possibly double reading for a period, is needed to determine whether there is a true high prevalence of malignancy in sonographically benign breast lesions in our community.
