Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the breast with amyloid deposits is a very rare cause of breast malignancy. Patients who carry a diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) have a 5-10% lifetime risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma with MALT lymphoma as the most common histologic subtype. Our case highlights the importance of routine screening mammography in the early detection of such unusual malignancies, and further interventions needed to diagnose and appropriately manage breast MALT lymphoma.
伴有淀粉样沉积的乳腺黏膜相关淋巴组织边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤(MALT)是一种非常罕见的乳腺恶性肿瘤病因。被诊断为干燥综合征(SS)的患者一生中患非霍奇金淋巴瘤的风险为5%-10%,其中MALT淋巴瘤是最常见的组织学亚型。我们的病例强调了常规乳腺钼靶筛查在早期发现此类罕见恶性肿瘤中的重要性,以及诊断和妥善管理乳腺MALT淋巴瘤所需的进一步干预措施。
