“…13 B symptoms were reported in only six reports. 3,5,10,13,15 However, presence of B symptoms (weight loss, intermittent fever and profuse night sweating) correlated with worse prognosis in Hodgkin's lymphoma of breast as five of these patients exhibiting B symptoms died on average of 8 months after initial presentation and diagnosis. 3,5,10,15 Laboratory findings related to worse prognosis such as elevated ESR, low serum albumin, low hemoglobin, and low lymphocyte count were reported in few cases.…”

Hodgkin's lymphoma is a potentially curable malignancy of the lymphatic system characterized by a variable number of scattered and large mononucleated and multinucleated tumor cells, the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells residing in an abundant heterogeneous admixture of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells. It represents approximately 30% of all lymphomas according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma typically present with painless peripheral adenopathy, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. We report a rare case of Hodgkin's lymphoma presented as a breast mass in a 23-year-old woman diagnosed on fine needle aspiration (FNA). At presentation, she had no B symptoms, or palpable lymphadenopathy.

Nodular sclerosing Hodgkin′s lymphoma with breast involvement: Case report and review of the literature

et al. 2014

Extranodal disease in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is very rare and it occurs in 15-30% of all cases. The intrathoracic area is the most common extranodal presentation. There are very few cases in the medical literature of breast involvement with HL. We report a 25-year-old woman who had been managed and treated for nodular sclerosing HL for 6 months, but she was noncompliant with chemotherapy. She presented 1 year later with a palpable left breast mass and B symptoms. The fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography images revealed disseminated disease with a left breast mass demonstrating fluorodeoxyglucose uptake. Histopathology of the ultrasound-guided biopsy specimen of the breast mass was consistent with recurrence. This case highlights the need for an awareness of HL presenting in this way because the diagnosis has therapeutic and prognostic implications.
