title: [Bilateral breast localization of Kahler's disease: cytological and histological aspects].
abstract: Breast localisation of multiple myeloma is quite unfrequent. In one case of a 69 years old man, the diagnosis was suspected by a cytological aspiration biopsy of the lesion, and later confirmed by histological and biological investigations. The analysis of the literature has enabled the authors to gather 7 other cases and to describe the characters of this peculiar tumoral localisation. The breast involvement is mostly observed in women. The average is 38 years old. Only 2 cases deal with men, both treated with estrogens. The lesion is usually bilateral and nearly always associated with other visceral and bone localisations. It is not modified by chemiotherapy and appears shortly before death.
