MR-IMAGING OF PRIMARY NON-HODGKINS BREAST LYMPHOMA - A CASE-REPORT

In this report we describe the MR imaging findings, including dynamic data, in a patient with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast. The precontrast T1-weighted sequence showed several hypointense, ill-d efined, non-spiculated masses. In the T2-weighted images the masses sh owed a hyperintense halo. In the dynamic and postcontrast sequences al l lesions enhanced markedly, and a further large mass was discovered. In comparison to mammography and sonography. only MR imaging identifie d the multicentric extent of the tumour. Differentiation from invasive cancer, based on either MR or conventional imaging features, was not possible.
