A rare case of synchronous invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast and follicular lymphoma.
Synchronous presentation of breast cancer and lymphoma is extremely rare. Few cases are reported in the literature. We describe a case of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with micrometastasis to a non-sentinel lymph node and subsequent incidental finding of a low-grade follicular lymphoma in an axillary node of a 52-year-old woman. The characteristic immunohistochemical profile of the lymphoma is described.
