An Unusual Case of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

Figure 2

(a) Baseline: (A) axial PET, (B) CT, and (C) fused images from an FDG-PET/CT scan performed at baseline demonstrate a large, infiltrative mass in the right chest wall measuring approximately 13 x 10 x 20 cm. The mass spans the subcutaneous, muscular, and chest wall compartments with extension into the pleural/extrapleural compartments (arrows). (D) A maximum intensity projection (MIP) image shows the large extent of disease. (b) Post treatment: (A) Axial PET after treatment with 6 cycles of CHP/BV, Surgery and XRT, (B) CT, and (C) fused images with stable postsurgical changes showing (d) overall significant positive response with slight interval increase in interstitial opacity in the central right breast with low-grade FDG uptake thought to be related to inflammation post radiation.
