title: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as a breast mass in patients with HIV infection: a report of three cases.
abstract: Breast involvement with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is rare. Patients with AIDS have an increased incidence of NHL, often with high-grade histology, extranodal presentation and aggressive clinical course. Lymphoma of the breast in patients with HIV-1 infection has not been reported. We reviewed our tumor registry database of all AIDS-associated NHL and report on the clinical presentation and long-term outcome of 3 patients with AIDS who presented with lymphomatous involvement of the breast.
