Abstract
Abstract We reported a rare case and experience of successfully treating primary anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the breast with no history of breast implants, using a combination of novel brentuximab vedotin and chemotherapy. A 78-year-old woman presented with a painless lump over the left breast. The computed tomography scan revealed a 2.6-cm tumor in the left upper quadrant of the breast, along with enlarged lymph nodes in the left axilla, exhibiting similar imaging features to breast carcinoma. The definitive diagnosis was based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry stains consistent with ALCL. The patient received brentuximab vedotin in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP) chemotherapy, as well as involved site radiation therapy (ISRT). The following image showed almost complete remission.
