Non Hodgkins lymphoma of the breast, unusual presentation: detection by 67Ga scintigraphy

Eur J Nucl Med. 1988;14(4):214-6. doi: 10.1007/BF00257332.

Abstract

Lymphomatous involvement of the breast is an uncommon cause of breast masses. A case is presented of a patient with bilateral breast involvement revealed by intense 67Ga uptake. Other foci of involvement were also detected scintigraphically, and confirmed by other imaging modalities. Multiagent chemotherapy resulted in significant clinical and scintigraphic regression of tumor, demonstrating the potential utility of 67Ga imaging in the follow-up of these patients.
