Description

Breast lymphomas are a rare sighting and image fi ndings are non

-pathognomonic often mimicing

different forms of invasive breast cancer. Nevertheless, multim

odal imaging and subsequent histopathology

are crucial for diagnosis and treatment. To draw attention to t

his very rare entity, we present a case of

a 74 year old female patient with a tumorous mass in the left m

axillary sinus. The subsequent whole-

body staging CT revealed an additional multicentric lesion of t

he right breast suggesting breast cancer.

Histopathology of both lesions resulted in the diagnosis of a d

iffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
