DISCUSSIONPrimary breast lymphomas are extremely rare and represent less than 0.5% of all breast tumors. Furthermore, most of these tumors are of B-cell origin, although T-cell primary lymphoma of the breast has been reported. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, T-cell phenotype has been previously reported in proximity to both silicone and saline breast implants. 4–7 However, this is only the second reported case arising in the capsule of a breast implant placed for reconstruction after a previous breast malignancy. The previous case involved an 87-year-old woman who presented with a right breast mass 7 years after reconstruction of the right breast with a saline implant. 4 An initial biopsy showed intense cellular infiltrate, which was thought to be an immune response to the implant. Her pain increased 1 year later, and tissue around the ruptured implant showed anaplastic large cell lymphoma of T-cell phenotype. The other cases involved implants placed for cosmetic augmentation or patients with a previous history of lymphoma. A 33-year-old woman underwent bilateral breast augmentation with silicone implants and developed swelling and tenderness of the left breast 14 years later, which was subsequently diagnosed as lymphoma. 5 Another case involves a 41-year-old woman who had a bilateral saline implant placed and developed a painful right breast mass 5 years later. Excisional biopsy of the mass revealed lymphoma. 6 A 46-year-old woman presented with right breast swelling 5 years after placement of bilateral silicone implants. Aspiration of the fluid collection revealed the presence of lymphoma. 7 Finally, a 50-year-old woman with a history of Hodgkin disease had bilateral silicone implants placed 20 years later after a mastectomy for left breast carcinoma. Nine years later, biopsy of subcutaneous nodules overlying her right breast revealed lymphoma. 4 Although rare, this is a diagnosis that is easily missed and should be considered in the evaluation of breast pain or swelling after previous implant placement.
