Nucl Med Rev Cent East Eur. 2012 Aug 22;15(2):149-52.

Abstract

Although lymphomas are generally considered as tumors of lymph nodes about 25-40% arise at extranodal sites. We report a case of a 60 years old female who developed a right breast B-diffuse large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2005 treated by chemo/radio-therapy which relapsed at the same breast in 2007 and at the other breast in 2010. The patient underwent both radiologic and nuclear medicine studies.
