1) Review of the different hematologic diseases that may present secondarily in the breast, such as lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma (plasmacytoma), and amyloidosis and their appearance on different imaging modalities (mammography, sonography, and MRI). 2) Integration of clinical history with imaging findings assist the radiologist in diagnosing lesions that may represent secondary manifestations of hematologic diseases in the breast. 3) Imaging features of the hematologic diseases in the breast may help the radiologist distinguish these disease processes from other primary breast lesions or malignancies. 4) Varying types of tissue samples are required for the diagnosis of the different hematologic diseases in the breast.  

1) Classification of hematologic diseases and incidence of secondary breast involvement. 2) Biopsy techniques and types of tissue samples needed for cytology, flow cytometry, histopathology, and receptor studies to diagnose hematologic diseases manifesting secondarily in the breast. 3) Case presentations of hematologic diseases in the breast, including patient demographics and clinical presentation, multimodality imaging features, cytology and histopathology correlation, and treatment.
