“…The absence of microcalcification and posterior shadowing, and markedly low ADC values can differentiate breast carcinoma. Although some previous studies have reported that primary breast lymphoma manifests at a larger size with a worse prognosis and at an earlier age than secondary breast lymphoma [3,6], the current study results were the opposite of these findings. Of the total nine deaths, eight were secondary involvement of the breast.…”

Background Breast involvement of hematological malignancies is a very rare entity. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical and radiological findings of hematological malignancy breast involvement and to describe possible pitfalls in diagnosis. Results The images of 20 patients with breast involvement of hematological malignancies were retrospectively evaluated on ultrasonography, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the findings were reported. Bilaterality was seen only in cases with secondary involvement, and there was no marked difference between primary and secondary breast involvement of hematological malignancies. All patients underwent ultrasonography examination. According to ultrasonography, breast masses were most frequently irregular in shape (11/20, 55%) with non-circumscribed margins (11/20, 55%). Posterior acoustic enhancement was noted in 14 cases (70%). Posterior shadowing was not observed in any of the patients. Mammography was available in 10 patients. Microcalcification was not observed in any patient on mammography. MRI was available in four patients. Hyperintensity in T2-weighted images, type 2 or type 3 dynamic curve, and diffusion restriction were observed in all cases. Conclusions Hematological malignancies may mimic both benign breast lesions and breast carcinoma. Familiarity with the radiological features of hematological malignancies can help accurate diagnosis.

“…The initial steps in diagnosis are usually diagnostic mammography or ultrasound followed by core needle biopsy or surgical biopsy to establish a histological diagnosis (2). Breast lymphoma frequently appears as a noncalcified oval or round mass which either has circumscribed or indistinct margins on mammogram (6,7).…”

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL)presents only rarely within the breast, although the incidence of breast EMZL has increased in the past decade for unclear reasons. Due to its rarity, the etiology, course, and treatment response of this cancer are less studied. Case Report: We present the case of a 64-year-old female who had bilateral diffuse irregularity in a trabecular pattern on screening mammogram. Random ultrasound-guided breast biopsy of the right breast demonstrated an extra-nodal marginal zone Bcell lymphoma. She also had approximately 25% marrow involvement by mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-type marginal zone lymphoma and splenomegaly. Clinically she remained asymptomatic during a 1-year follow-up. Although she presented with advanced-stage disease involving both breasts, spleen and bone marrow, given her lack of associated symptoms, she was observed with active surveillance. Conclusion: Asymptomatic cases of breast EMZL can be managed with close observation as exemplified by our case.Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL), also known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, arise only rarely within the breast, although the incidence of breast EMZL has increased in the past decade for unclear reasons. Due to its rarity, the etiology, course, and treatment response of this cancer are less well-studied. Here we present a case of bilateral primary breast EMZL. Patient consent was acquired for reporting this case.
