“…Our patient had breast lymphoma, which accounts for 0.04%–0.70% of breast neoplasms 6 7. Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is diagnosed only when there is no lymphomatous involvement beyond the axillary lymph nodes 8. The average age of PBL diagnosis is in the seventh decade of life, with clinical presentation and imaging findings similar to breast carcinomas 7.…”

Pregnancy-associated cancer is defined as malignancy diagnosed during gestation or up to 1 year post partum. Treatment of cancer during pregnancy is complicated by the risk of harm to the fetus and limitations in safety data. Postpartum patients receiving chemotherapy, tyrosine-kinase inhibitors or hormonal agents should avoid breast feeding to avoid drug excretion in breast milk. Patients who will receive cytotoxic chemotherapy should be advised of the potential impact on their future fertility and offered fertility-preservation options. Breast cancer is the most common pregnancy-associated malignancy and is most frequently either invasive ductal or lobular carcinoma. Breast lymphoma is an exceedingly rare diagnosis that typically presents with unilateral disease in the seventh decade of life. Here, we present the case of a woman who presented with bilateral breast masses during the second trimester of pregnancy and was ultimately diagnosed with primary breast Burkitt’s lymphoma.

“…Therefore, the arrangement of these malignant lymphocytes in the superficial dermis is characteristic for early MF stages, which, unlike deep dermal lymphocytes, which are difficult to identify due to the presence of collagen fibers that compress them, can be easily spotted (18). Although most of them are hypoechoic masses (87%), the presence of calcifications and spiculate margins is not common (30). On breast ultrasound, the lymphoma has the appearance of a well-defined or illdefined solid mass, hypoechogenic or with mixed ecostructure, with the long axis parallel to the skin most of the time, with posterior acoustic amplification (31) (Figure 3A).…”

Primary cutaneous lymphomas rank as the second most common clinical form of extranodal non-Hogdkin malignant lymphomas. Among non-Hodgkin malignant skin T-cell lymphomas, Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is the most frequent clinical occurence. The MF lymphoma originates in skin-homing helper T-cells, which express the CD4 + marker, showing chronic evolution, with recurrent lesions. In advanced stages, patients with Mycosis Fungoides may experience severe/extensive skin lesions or extracutaneous localizations of the disease. The secondary breast lymphoma is more common in non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma than in Hodgkin lymphoma. Among the mammographic characteristics of breast lymphoma we mention: oval or round tumor mass, with well-defined or indistinct margins, absence of intratumoral calcifications, presence of intramammary lymph nodes, supra-adjacent skin thickening and lymphedema that causes diffuse increase in breast density. The ultrasound features of breast lymphoma run as follows: it is oval or round in shape, with well-defined or indistinct margins, which in Doppler ultrasound are identified as hypervascularized masses. The description of the imaging features of mammary lymphomas secondary to cutaneous T-cell lymphomas is required before performing the breast core-needle biopsy.
