RODRIGUEZ LUCERO, Javier et al. Bilateral breast involvement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Mammographic, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings: Case report. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2013, vol.77, n.1, pp.27-30. ISSN 1852-9992.

We report a case of a 26-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant who presented with palpable lumps in both breasts. Mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were performed, with the final pathological diagnosis being relapse of her underlying disease with breast involvement. The case is worth reporting because it is a very unusual form of presentation, with few reports in medical literature, having found no previous studies discussing the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in these cases.
