Abstract
- Breast lymphomas, either manifesting as a primary extranodal disease or secondary involvement, are a rare form of malignancy. Breast lymphomas can be visualized as hypermetabolic lesions in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scans. Here, we describe a case of a secondary breast lymphoma, detected with 18F-FDG PET/CT.
