Anaplastic large-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the breast in periprosthetic localisation 32 years after treatment for primary breast cancer—a case report

Primary, as well as secondary, lymphomas of the breast are rare diseases and might, in some cases, be misdiagnosed as breast cancer on routine hematoxylin/eosin stainings. We report a case of an anaplastic large cell lymphoma in a 72-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer treated with breast-ablative surgery and a subsequent silicon implant 32 years ago. Clinically, she presented with an ulceration of the skin, which had developed within a few months. On conventional histology, the tumor cells were mimicking poorly differentiated invasive ductal carcinoma with a prominent leukocytic infiltrate. The immunoprofile of the tumor showed negativity for cytokeratins and led to the diagnosis of a CD30-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

“…Rare cases of PBL with expression of hormone receptors (progestins and estrogen) by lymphomatous cells have been reported. [1][2][3][4][5][6] In the group of primitive large B-cell lymphomas of the breast, certain known cytogenetic abnormalities, recurrent in these lymphomas, have been reported in 50% of cases with deregulating translocations bcl-2 [t (12; 18), t (14; 18 )], and anomalies involving bcl-6 [t (3; 14) and der (3) (q27)]. 7 The most common presenting mode is a painless unilateral mass on breast examination (60% to 100% of cases).…”

Primary breast lymphoma is a primary degeneration of the breast lymphoid tissue. Study aim to describe primary breast lymphoma; its clinical presentations, histological particularities and management methods. A 33 years-old patient with no medical history underwent a breast surgery. Its anatomo-pathological study, supplemented by immunohistochemistry, showed a primary breast lymphoma. The extension assessment was negative. The patient underwent chemotherapy with regression of the tumor. Breast lymphomas are rare conditions. Its clinical symptomatology is polymorphic and the imaging aspects are non-specific. It should be evoked in front of any breast tumor in order to avoid heavy breast surgery since the basic treatment is based on chemotherapy.

“…In a few reported cases the breast is not the primary location of MALT lymphoma, but the location of relapse [12,[19][20][21]. Breast lymphoma might correlate with hormonal environment [22,23]. Additionally, history of autoimmune disease might play an important role in pathogenesis.…”

Background: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a distinct subgroup of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas with preferable localization in the gastrointestinal tract. Patient and Methods: We describe the unusual case of a 48-year-old female patient, who was diagnosed with simultaneous MALT lymphoma of both breasts. Cervical, axillary and retroperitoneal lymph nodes were slightly enlarged, indicating an infiltration by the lymphoma. In her medical history the patient suffered from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy with CHOP regimen, the patient achieved complete remission. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case describing a patient with MALT lymphoma of the breast and a history of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. As patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, especially Sjögren’s syndrome and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, are at a higher risk to develop B-cell lymphoma, we assume that Hashimoto’s thyroiditis favored development of MALT lymphoma in our patient.
