Note from Ilena Rosenthal:  We have had several women in our
international support group be diagnosed with lymphoma ... and several
have had the lymphomas, exactly where their implants were ... such as
this one.

Primary, as well as secondary, lymphomas of the breast are rare
diseases and might, in some cases, be misdiagnosed as breast cancer on
routine hematoxylin/eosin stainings. We report a case of an anaplastic
large cell lymphoma in a 72-year-old woman with a history of breast
cancer treated with breast-ablative surgery and a subsequent silicon
implant 32 years ago. Clinically, she presented with an ulceration of
the skin, which had developed within a few months. On conventional
histology, the tumor cells were mimicking poorly differentiated
invasive ductal carcinoma with a prominent leukocytic infiltrate. The
immunoprofile of the tumor showed negativity for cytokeratins
and led to the diagnosis of a CD30-positive anaplastic large cell
lymphoma.
