Schwannomas are mostly benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of the nerve sheaths. Breast schwannomas are very rare and account for only 2.6% of cases. As far as we know this is the first reported case of breast schwannoma discovered in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The breast schwannoma was evaluated with positron emission tomography and it exhibited moderate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake.
We present the case of a breast schwannoma in a 63-year-old Caucasian woman who was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Imaging modalities including positron emission tomography-computed tomography failed to distinguish breast schwannoma from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involvement of the breast.
施万细胞瘤大多是起源于神经鞘雪旺细胞的良性肿瘤。乳腺施万细胞瘤非常罕见,仅占病例的2.6%。据我们所知,这是首次报道在弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤患者中发现乳腺施万细胞瘤。该乳腺施万细胞瘤经正电子发射断层扫描评估,显示18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖摄取中等。
我们报告一例63岁白种女性乳腺施万细胞瘤病例,该患者被诊断为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤。
包括正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描在内的成像方式无法区分乳腺施万细胞瘤与乳腺弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤累及情况。
