Abstract

We have reviewed imaging findings of 32 female patients with a proven haematological malignancy in the breast and axilla presenting to two breast units over a 13-year period. Nineteen patients had screen-detected lesions, and 13 presented to symptomatic services. The most common histological diagnosis was of non-Hogdkins lymphoma. Of the 12 patients who presented with disease in the breast, six (all with primary breast lymphoma) presented with a welt-defined mass on mammography. The range of radiological appearances is, however, highly variable. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
