Abstract
FERREIRA, Cátia Sofia et al. Primary breast lymphoma - clinical presentation and diagnosis, 2 clinical cases. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, pp.170-173. Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 1646-5830.
Primary breast lymphoma accounts for 0,04-0,5% of breast tumours and <1% of non‑Hodgkin lymphomas. Its main differential diagnosis is breast carcinoma.
Case 1:
female, 51 years old, pre-menopause, presented with left axillary adenomegaly with suspicious ultrasound characteristics, breasts without alterations. Ultrasound-guided microbiopsy and excisional biopsy revealed reactive lymphadenitis. Two months later, the patient presents with fever and a lump with fluctuation in the left breast. Surgical exploration was performed for suspected breast abscess and histopathological evaluation diagnosed anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma, ALK-positive.
Case 2:
female, 89 years old, suspicious left breast lump. Ultrasound-guided breast microbiopsy revealed follicular lymphoma.
Keywords : Breast; Lymphoma.
