Bilateral low-grade B-cell lymphoma of the breast: A case report with cytological, histological and immunohistochemical studies
A 45-year-old woman presented with bilateral palpable breast masses, which were clinically suspicious of either mammary carcinomas or phyllodes tumors. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) study suggested low-grade lymphoma. Histological and immunohistochemical studies of an incisional biopsy specimen of th...
