Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Associated with Breast Implant: A Case Report

Primary breast lymphoma represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies and most primary breast lymphomas are of B-Cell origin. The association of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a very rare form of primary breast lymphoma, with silicone-filled breast implants has been suggested and several case reports supported this proposal, especia...

ALK- negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma of Bone

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Associated With Breast Implants

A forty two years old woman with a history of bilateral breast augmentation for cosmetic reasons was presented for poor healing of the surgical site. Tissue and periprosthetic fluid were removed from the wound site revealing an atypical lymphoid infiltrate. Subsequently the patient developed axillary lymph adenopathy. Excisional biopsy was performed. Flow cytometry was non-diagnostic. She conti...

CLINICAL FEATURES AND TREATMENT OUTCOME IN 26 CASES WITH Ki-l (CD30) POSITIVE ANAPLASTIC LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA

In order to present the clinical features and outcome of patients with Ki-l positive lymphoma and also the role of treatment modalities in this type of malignant disease, twenty-six patients with peripheral lymphadenopathy and a biopsyproven diagnosis ofKi-l positive lymphoma referring to the Radiation Oncology Department during a seven year period were treated with chemotherapy and radioth...

Hodgkin Lymphoma and Anaplastic Variants of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

  Background and Objectives: Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and some cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have overlapping morphologic features. Since they all represent distinct clinico-pathologic entities, we explored the differential diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping to discriminate between them. Materials and Methods:...

Expression of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Protein in Human Breast Cancer

Background & Objectives: Anaplastic lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the genesis of several human cancers. ALK was initially identified because of its involvement in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). ALK is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops. Studies reveal that the presence of anti-ALK antibodies ...
