Abstract

Extra-medullary infiltration of breast by acute lymphoblastic leukemia is very rare. Mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings of leukemic breast involvement have been previously reported in the literature. However; ultrasound elastography findings of leukemic breast involvement have not been reported yet. Herein, we report ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a case with bilateral breast infiltration by Tcell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Akut Lenfoblastik Lösemide Meme Tutulumu

Abstract

Memenin akut lenfoblastik lösemi tarafından ekstramedüller tutulumu nadirdir. Memenin lösemi tarafından tutulumunda mamografi, ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları literatürde daha önceden bildirilmiştir. Literatürde henüz memenin lösemi tarafından tutulumunda ultrason elastografi bulgularını değerlendiren yayın bulunmamaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda bilateral meme tutulumu olan T-hücreli akut lenfoblastik lösemili olgunun ultrason elastografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları sunulmuştur.
