Breast lymphoma is a rare entity consisting mostly of B-cell lymphomas that affects older women. Very few cases of breast lymphomas of T-cell origin have been reported. Even fewer cases of breast lymphomas have been reported in women who have received breast implants. Silicone, a frequent component of breast implants, has been extensively investigated as a possible etiologic agent for some neoplasias and autoimmune disorders, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We herein report two unusual cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma of T-cell phenotype developing in the breasts of women who had received breast implants.
