Breast: Sezary Syndrome: A Unique Presentation

Abstract

Sezary syndrome is a subtype of cutaneous T cell lymphoma which usually presents as generalized skin disease with erytheroderma. Distal organ involvement is rare and is usually a late finding in the course of the disease. Breast involvement is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case report of a patient whose initial presentation involved an intramammary lymph node prior to the onset of more characteristic skin disease. Sezary syndrome was confirmed by cythopathologic findings.

Breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a systematic review and in‐depth evaluation of the current understanding

“…Breast implants and breast implant capsules have been associated with several types of non ALCL cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma, large B cell lymphoma, primary T‐cell lymphoma, Sezary syndrome, and hairy cell leukemia . To add to this heterogeneity, ALK+ cases of lymphoma around a breast implant have also been documented despite the fact that BIA‐ALCL is nearly always ALK−, a feature now required for its diagnosis.…”
