    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, can rarely manifest initially as a breast mass.
    • Disseminated lymphoma involves widespread cancer affecting multiple organs beyond the primary site.

    Observation:

    • Two young women presented with breast lumps as the primary symptom of disseminated lymphoma.
    • Initial management included wide excision of the affected breast tissue.

    Findings:

    • Histological diagnosis was confirmed using immunoperoxidase stains for immunoglobulin chains.
    • Extensive disease involvement was identified in bone marrow, bone cortex, lymph nodes, and lungs.
    • One patient achieved complete remission following systemic chemotherapy.

    Implications:
