The Mammary Glands

The Mammary Glands

The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Pathology

Background:

Primary breast lymphoma is a rare malignancy, often presenting as a palpable mass.
Trauma can sometimes precede the presentation of breast lesions, necessitating careful evaluation.

Observation:

A 75-year-old woman presented with a right breast lump post-trauma.
Mammography revealed a solitary, uncalcified mass with indistinct margins and ipsilateral lymphadenopathy.
Ultrasound demonstrated a hypoechoic mass with irregular margins and increased vascularity.

Findings:

The imaging characteristics were consistent with primary breast lymphoma.
Pathologic correlation confirmed the diagnosis.
Differential diagnoses included hematoma, abscess, invasive ductal carcinoma, phyllodes tumor, and metastatic disease.

Implications:

Recognizing the imaging features of primary breast lymphoma is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Distinguishing lymphoma from common breast pathologies like carcinoma is essential for appropriate management.
This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in breast imaging, especially with atypical presentations.
