title: Imaging findings of hematologic diseases affecting the breast.
abstract: The breast is an uncommon manifestation site for malignant hematological diseases. Intramammary relapse can occur as an isolated tumor or as an extramedullary manifestation in systemic disease. Most published data regarding breast involvement in lymphoma or leukemia focus on the histopathologic characteristics of breast lymphoma or leukemia and do not describe radiological findings. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide statistical, clinical, and radiological information on hematological malignancies of the breast.
